To followup directly to the user -- the gm checkpoint/restart stuff that
was demo'ed at SC will only be available in LAM/MPI 7.1. It is not
available in 7.0.x. We expect to release 7.1 towards the end of the
semester.

Correct. This is also likely to be "just the way it is" for the time
being; causing it to not print the scary message will likely take a lot of
work on our part (i.e., how is LAM supposed to know when a SIGTERM is
acceptable and when it is not?), and is not likely to be fixed in the near
future. Sorry! :-(
