[p4] Checkpoint hung, tables locked? ... support not in yet

[Dan Wierenga]

Checkpoints don't really produce any output between the very start and
the very end (I've got an enhancement request to give some kind of
status output, actually).  So it may very well not be "hung".  I would
really, really recommend against killing a checkpoint though.

Incidentally, the UK and Australian offices are willing to help US
customers during their office hours, which amounts to Support being open
much "earlier" than you'd think.  :D
