File timestamps

[Hani Suleiman]

This conversation seems to have stalled a bit. So for those having the 
problem, my proposed patch is included. Please do test and let me know 
you still have problems with lock files not going away or any other 
reader/writer conflicts.

This handles the situation by always incrementing the timestamp, with 
the disadvantage that you might end up with files (the segments file, 
in practice) sometimes having a timestamp in the future. The testsuite 
on OSX consistently passes with this patch applied.

What's the verdict on this being committed?
