 * Purpose:     Attempt to extend a chunk that is allocated on disk.
 *
 *              If the extension is successful, and if the last message
 *		of the chunk is the null message, then that message will
 *		be extended with the chunk.  Otherwise a new null message
 *		is created.
 *
 *              f is the file in which the chunk will be written.  It is
 *              included to ensure that there is enough space to extend
 *              this chunk.
 *
 * Return:      true:		The chunk has been extended, and *msg_idx
 *				contains the message index for null message
 *				which is large enough to hold size bytes.
 *
 *		false:		The chunk cannot be extended, and *msg_idx
 *				is undefined.
 *
 *		FAIL:		Some internal error has been detected.
