createExtent during checkpoint can hang checkpoints

If you dynamically create a new extent while a checkpoint happens to be
in progress, there is a small chance that the checkpoint will hang without
completing.  No further checkpoints will be performed until the stone is
shutdown and restarted.

Workaround

You can avoid this problem by resetting the stone configuration parameter
StnRDbfMaxFilesPerServer to a high value (say, 1000) before executing the
createExtent: command:

    System stoneConfigurationAt: #StnRDbfMaxFilesPerServer put: 1000
