Bug Description

When running on slow or memory constrained systems the bogo op sanity checking reports that the checksum region is null because the child has been killed before it can set this region up. This can be fixed by moving this setup into the parent before forking off the child because they use the same shared memory segment.

  * Makefile: bump minor version
  * Setup the checksum before forking off child stressor (LP: #1880840)
    - fixes null checksum if child is killed before the stressor
      function gets invoked.
