 Hi,

 I just was victim to using boost::date_time::millisec and others in an
 error prone way, by passing into special values like neg_infin as part of
 testing.

 For me it should at least avoid such abuse at compile time, because such
 errors are quite hard to find. I already patched our code, so plz find
 patch attached.

 Greetz, ILo.

 Ofc one may also allow to pass in those special values into
 subsecond_duration.
