Lisa,

Ash and I are seeing some benchmarks exiting before the checkpoint is 
taken with:

Exiting @ cycle 1784286478500 
because target called exit()

I am not confident on the relationship between cycle and instructions, 
but I have seen this value at less then half the simpoint.

If I set the simpoint manually to something smaller than 
max-instructions it drops the checkpoints as expected.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Will
