A level 0 warning would have aborted the job, still leaving no  
checkpoint files.  Sometimes the error is intermittent and goes away  
later, so that continuing would actually have produced checkpoint  
files.  At the moment you spent your own time and computing time  
unnecessarily.

I think we can introduce a parameter.  Thomas, what do you think?
