AFAICT, the checkpointer does consider starting a checkpoint, but it
decides not to do one, because of this recent change:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git&a=commitdiff&h=18fb9d8d21a28caddb72c7ffbdd7b96d52ff9724

If you had done enough updates since the last checkpoint, it would do
one.  So this isn't a bug, but an intentional reduction in checkpoint
frequency.  (Note that sending SIGINT is not, and never has been,
equivalent to forcing a checkpoint.)
