One issue with this approach is that the operation (checkpoint) becomes
non-transparent to the "checkpointee"s: re-writing the data back into
the pipe/fifo may generate a SIGIO at the read-side of the pipe/fifo, or
an inotify event on the inode, without a real reason. This may confuse
the application if its logic relies on "normal" behavior.
