Why make us look?

I'm using Cygwin to compile my C programs
I created a program that will call abort whenever an error occurs.
when I run the program from Cygwin Terminal the function produces the following
output:
Aborted (core dumped)
but If I run the program from Windows CMD or Explorer it produces the following:
0 [main] test 1904 cygwin_exception::open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack
trace to test.exe.stackdump
Can I change the message to the first format? How?
because the second format is very ugly and I can't tell if this is a bug in the
program (e.g: Access Violation, Divide By Zero,...) or the abort function>
and why do I get different messages even though the build is the same?
Note: Please, Don't tell me not to use the abort function or the Cygwin compiler

Different runtime environments are likely to do different things; the likely
difference is that Windows doesn't understand the signal of the SIGABRT and
Cygwin does.

Not likely to change; this isn't something that we should care about.
