[Boost-testing] [QNX6] Can't produce final report with 'compiler_status'

I can run the regression tests on QNX6 using run_tests.sh and in doing 
so have identified a number of minor changes that will need to be 
incorporated in order to support this OS.

However, I am still unable to produce the final report (step 6 in 
run_tests.sh) using 'compiler_status'. It crashes with a memory fault 
after producing part of cs-QNX.html. I have tried to debug this with gdb 
but to no avail. Please can I check the following items:

- compiler_status links against the 'filesystem' library but does it 
call any of the other utilities during execution? (I have run the test 
suite on filesystem and it passes all tests with one modification.)

- What directory should it be run from? (I assume $boost_root/status.)

- What input files does it require? test_log.xml in each of the test 
leaf sub-directories, but what else?

- What output files does it produce? I can see cs-QNX.html and 
cs-QNX-links.html in $boost_root/status. Are there others?

- When executing, compiler_status outputs the usage information. Is this 
normal even when command line parameters are correct?

- Is the --comment option mandatory or optional. What is the purpose of 
the html file, and how 'well formed' does it have to be?

Thanks
