Latest results on my experimentation here.  Short form: rc1 seems to
work on Atom N550, but still not rc2 or rc3.

For some reason, finally seem to have gotten a saved checkpoint that
works all the time on the Fedora 20 (kernel 3.17.7) i3 540, with rc2.
Ran it about 50 times in a row with no segfault.

Also have tried building and running each of 2.3.1 and 2.4.0 rc1,
rc2,rc3 on the Fedora 19 (kernel 3.14.23) Atom N550.

Results: 2.3.1 works like the packaged version, but that means
control-c ends all checkpointed shells tested with (R,python,ocaml).

rc2 and rc3 (just put up for download hours ago) still crash on every
checkpointed shell at the same place shown with strace.

However, *rc1* *works* each time I try on each of these shells, and
handles control-C correctly with R and Python.  However, with ocaml,
when one hits control-C, ocaml prints its "interrupted" message (so
the signal does get to it fine) but then the whole thing quits.

Now, I noticed that ocaml is actually bytecode for the ocaml
interpreter, run by the shell using a bang line.  That could easily
mess things up, I suppose. So I tried a checkpoint running the ocaml
bytecode interpeter directly, passing ocaml into it.  And... that
seems to work.   Tried it many times in a row.   Runs okay (after
loading in a huge ocaml program) and control-c works as it should.

So hopefully this is some kind of clue.  I assume rc1 works on this
system.  But, rc2 and rc3 don't.  Without any understanding of what
these programs truly do I don't know what other information I can
provide but will try to provide more if told what I could gather.
Maybe it is just something in the configure/make that differs?
