Hi !

I want to get XML-Test output from Boost.Build and run 
bjam --dump-test --out-xml=dump.xml -l300
on Windows Server 2008 using bjam built with msvc-10 and msvc-9

Bjam crashes on the first timed out test because execnt.c calls  
GetProcessTimes( process, &creation, &exit, &kernel, &user ) )
in execnt.c line 845. (trunk)
on a running process.
According to the msdn documentation, "exit" time is undefined if the process 
has not exited.
The following calculation lead to a negative value for time->end and then jam 
crashes at output.c, line 123
    strftime( buffer, 49, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%SZ", gmtime( &value ) );

because "value" (time->end) is negative.
The attached patch fixes this (at least for me).

Any ideas or improments ?

Or shall I commit this one ?

Yours,

Jürgen
