Return NULL for checksum failures if checksums are not enabled
Returning 0 could falsely indicate that there is no problem. NULL correctly indicates that there is no information about potential problems. Also return 0 as numbackends instead of NULL for shared objects (as no connection can be made to a shared object only).
