App::abort(404) not listening to custom error handler

[steve228uk]

I'm using App::abort(404); to force a 404 however I'm getting the standard stack trace and Laravel doesn't seem to listen to the following error handler I've added to app/start/global.php

App::missing(function($exception)
{
    return View::make('errors.404');
});

When using App::abort a general HttpException is thrown, not the required NotFoundHttpException. I agree that App::abort should convert from error codes to proper specialized Exceptions.

Fixed.
