If you read the man page for abort() it says use exit() to avoid the ReportCrash daemon.
Adium does this after launching their crash report helper app.

How do they get there?
Simple.
Unix signals handling.
Right there in the really nice Adium code you linked to.
You could copy and paste verbatim almost.

That said, if you're doing this, you should look for a way to share it to Apple as well. There's always a possibility they need to know something too.

But importantly consider your users. Many/most will not know the difference and may blame Apple and seek support there. So if you do this, make it very clear to users that you are not sending this to Apple but to yourself, what you are sending and why.
