This abort happens when Emacs tries to invoke the Lisp debugger, in
order to report some kind of error.

Assuming you still have this session in the debugger, please do:

 (gdb) frame 7
 (gdb) p f->face_cache->used
 (gdb) frame 9
 (gdb) pgrow

If the last command errors out due to "Undefined command", type this:

 (gdb) source /path/to/emacs/src/.gdbinit

and then try the "pgrow" command again.  Also, please show the output
of this command:

 (gdb) xbacktrace

Finally, please show what this produces:

 (gdb) frame 36
 (gdb) pp error_symbol
 (gdb) pp data
