The remaining length of the allocation to be done was an exact multiple of 2^32 - the first case I saw was at 496TB remaining to be allocated. This turns out to be an overflow when converting the allocation length (a 64 bit quantity) into the extent length to allocate (a 32 bit quantity), and it requires the length to be allocated an exact multiple of 2^32 blocks to trip the assert. Fix it by limiting the extent lenth to allocate to MAXEXTLEN.
