/**
* Crash Monitor
*
* Monitors execution of a program to detect possible crashes. After
* program termination, the monitor can be queried during the next run
* to determine whether the last run exited cleanly or not.
*
* The monitoring is done by registering and listening for special
* notifications, or checkpoints, known to be sent by the monitored
* program as different stages in the execution are reached. As they
* are observed, these notifications are written asynchronously to a
* checkpoint file.
*
* During next program startup the crash monitor reads the checkpoint
* file from the last session. If notifications are missing, a crash
* has likely happened. By inspecting the notifications present, it is
* possible to determine what stages were reached in the program
* before the crash.
*
* Note that since the file is written asynchronously it is possible
* that a received notification is lost if the program crashes right
* after a checkpoint, but before crash monitor has been able to write
* it to disk. Thus, while the presence of a notification in the
* checkpoint file tells us that the corresponding stage was reached
* during the last run, the absence of a notification after a crash
* does not necessarily tell us that the checkpoint wasn't reached.
