Milestone:  To Be Determined                      |  Component:  chrono
  Version:  Boost Development Trunk               |   Severity:  Problem

--------------------------------------------------+---------------------
 The chrono clocks process_real_cpu_clock, process_user_cpu_clock,
 process_system_cpu_clock and process_cpu_clock may overflow on 32 bit
 systems due to the multiplication of types clock_t (returned by
 ::times(...)) and long (returned by tick_factor()).
 (The overflow occurs already at 2.14 seconds.)

 Possible solution:
 Change the return type of tick_factor() from long to nanoseconds::rep
 (see attached patch)
