Ok, I got it set up in VC++EE and tried it. It is failing in my proto_register_abc() method.
I construct the hf array, ett array and proto_register_protocol with no problems. It then fails on:

proto_register_field_array (proto_abc, hf, array_length (hf));

Here is the hf array construction, can anyone see what the error is?

    static hf_register_info hf[] = {
        { &hf_abc_flags,
            { "Flags", "abc.flags",
            FT_UINT8, BASE_NONE,
            NULL, 0x0, NULL, HFILL }
        },
        { &hf_abc_crc,
            { "CRC", "abc.crc",
            FT_UINT16, BASE_HEX,
            NULL, 0x0, NULL, HFILL }
        },
        { &hf_abc_txPower,
            { "txPower", "abc.txPower",
            FT_UINT8, BASE_DEC,
            "Transmit power for message in dBm",
            0x0, NULL, HFILL }
        },
        { &hf_abc_frameType,
            { "frameType", "abc.frameType",
            FT_UINT16, BASE_NONE,
            NULL, 0x0, NULL, HFILL }
        },
        { &hf_abc_prevHop,
            { "prevHop", "abc.prevHop",
            FT_UINT32, BASE_HEX,

            0x0, NULL, HFILL }
        },
        { &hf_abc_duration,
            { "duration", "abc.duration",
            FT_UINT16, BASE_DEC,
            "Duration in microsec used for CSMA NAV calculation",
            0x0, NULL, HFILL }
        },
        { &hf_abc_token,

...which means it probably comes from one of the dissector's
registration functions (which are called when Wireshark or TShark
starts up).
