    Andrea,
    
      I cannot tell from the information you have provided what the problem 
    might be.  If I construct a simple example program that behaves as you 
    describe, and I compile it as you describe, then I am able to checkpoint 
    it and restart it just fine.
      Could you please check the output of the "dmesg" command and/or your 
    system logs to see if there are any kernel messages that might help 
    explain the failure.
    
    -Paul
