Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm
"gdm seems to crash when I put a Xwilling script in my /etc/gdm/
directory (or alternatively when I tell it to execute a script
elsewhere with my gdm.conf.) When an XDMCP query hits the server, I
see this line in /var/log/syslog, which indicates a crash:

Aug 19 23:31:59 beazley gdm[13615]: WARNING: main daemon: Got SIGABRT. 
Something went very wrong. Going down!"

or alternatively (when build with debugging enabled):
