    | 	Hmm.. I don't think so. I found in include/libcr.h (I've just realized

    | the following explanation:
    |
    | // Note that if a callback returns without invoking cr_checkpoint(),

    There's a comment in libcr.h that states:
    
    Callbacks are expected to return zero on success. A callback may return
    nonzero to indicate a failure...
    
    
    In this case I assume that the checkpoint procedure gets terminated and
    no checkpoint is taken at all.
