Hi Edson,
    You seem to have hit a known bug that we have for dmtcp version 2.4.1.
We had an unfortunate regression concerning interval checkpointing.
--interval and DMTCP_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL are not working properly
in version 2.4.1.

    We will be releasing version 2.4.2 in a few days.  In the meantime,
your options are to use dmtcp-2.4.0, or else the development
branch (which is currently reasonable stable).  The development branch
can be found through:
    google dmtcp download
    --> http://dmtcp.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
    ----> git clone https://github.com/dmtcp/dmtcp.git
    ----> OR: wget https://github.com/dmtcp/dmtcp/archive/master.zip
    
Best,
- Gene
