Subject: finding out about checkpoint failures

Is there any way to have the system notify me when the checkpoint fails?

We just crashed because of an out of memory error, and then I discovered that
the previous day's checkpoints had all failed because the drive was full.
*sigh*

Not from within the database; you could, of course, have a cron job wake up
every hour or so and check that the most recent checkpoint was, in fact, pretty
recent, sending you mail if not.

I will look into fixing this in release 1.8.0.
