This sounds like BLCR - Berkely Lab Checkpoint Restart -
http://ftg.lbl.gov/CheckpointRestart/CheckpointRestart.shtml
works very nice on embedded targets especially for errors that dont
reproduce well or take days/weeks to appear. This is implemented as
a set of loadable modules for 2.6 (up to 2.6.26 I think)
This solution is though limited to GNU/Linux - so I dont know if that fits
for you.
