So are you sure the flag is just --timeout=10?  I have that in my script,
but it doesn't seem to be picking it up...aka when the command is put at
the bottom of the html page for the test runner, it shows the command
correctly, but without that part of it. Is it possible that it is getting
thrown out by run.py somehow?

http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/teeks99-03a-win2008-64on64.html

The actual command I'm running:

python run.py --runner=teeks99-03a-win2008-64on64 --force-update
--toolsets=msvc-8.0 --bjam-options="-j2 address-model=64" --timeout=10
--comment=..\info.html --timeout=10 2>&1 | ..\wtee output.log

The one that shows up in the above link:

run.py --runner=teeks99-03a-win2008-64on64 --force-update --toolsets=msvc-8.0  \
  "--bjam-options=\"-j4 address-model=64\"" --comment=..\\info.html

Any ideas what is going on here?
