Title:
  Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in OsAbort()

Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  New
Status in X.Org X server:
  Unknown
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
    This crash is ranking #2 on errors.u.c[1], it is caused by a recursive call to xf86CloseConsole() after a failed VT switch. Since it is happening on shutdown, its not causing any real issues with the user session, however it is spamming the users (and errors.u.c) with crash logs.

  [Test Case]
  1. Running under a gdm/gnome-shell session select 'power off' from the user menu (it doesn't get triggered on a restart)
  2. On next login you will receive a crash report

  [Regression Potential]
  Very Low, its an upstream patch, that just changes the error logging, so that the a warning is logged rather than crashing the server.
