+/**
+ * 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.
