No, it doesn't; that's a SIGABRT, which is raised when a piece of code
explicitly calls "abort()" to force a core dump, presumably because some
sanity check it was doing didn't find sanity (which is the case here).

Start up GDB again on that core dump, do "frame 5", and then do
"print *finfo" and "print *(finfo->hfinfo)", and report back the
results.
