format tried to drop checkpoints during a hot backup: this is likely a failure in the format test program, it's not supposed to do anything that would delete checkpoints during a hot backup, and that code recently changed in WT-3582.

WT_SESSION.checkpoint: checkpoint mine.3 blocked by hot backup: it would delete an existing checkpoint, and checkpoints cannot be deleted during a hot backup: Device or resource busy
Here's the CONFIG:
