For posterity, the language from the sys_checkpoint(2) manpage is as follows and
I believe we agreed that it was the desired behavior.

SIGNALS
     Two signals are associated with checkpointing.  SIGCKPT is delivered via
     the tty ckpt character, usually control-E.  Its default action is to
     checkpoint a program and continue running it.  The SIGCKPTEXIT signal can
     only be delivered by kill(2).  Its default action is to checkpoint a pro-
     gram and then exit.  SIGCKPTEXIT might not be implemented by the system.

I've tested your changes and checkpoints will now thaw, but it looks like more
work is going to be needed for them to be useful. Not just in terms of threads
but it also appears TLS may be wonky in the single thread case. Traceback from
my rwhod hacked to natively handle SIGCKPTEXIT and properly reinit on thaw.

I haven't investigated this further, but I will unless someone beats me to it.
