[Openais] CKPT: bug, global_ckpt_id not synced

What if you changed the checkpoint ID from beeing global for all 
checkpoints into a per checkpoint instance ID?

I mean ckpt "ckpt1" gets ID 1, unlink it, create "ckpt1" it gets ID 2 
and so on. With a 32bit ID you could have 2^32 unlinked checkpoints...
