[Boost-testing] Regression test failure

I ran a test last night. I downloaded the tarball and unpacked it 'by 
hand' then applied a patch. I copied regression.py from the downloaded 
source tree and ran the following script:

python regression.py setup --toolsets=qcc-3.3.5-cpp,qcc-3.3.5-gpp
python regression.py test $TAG --toolsets=qcc-3.3.5-cpp,qcc-3.3.5-gpp
python regression.py collect-logs $TAG $RUNNER --comment=comment630.html
python regression.py upload-logs $TAG $RUNNER

I checked the contents of the results directory and saw that the final 
xml & zip files where less than 1000 bytes each. The command line shows 
many warnings of the following type -

*****Warning - can't open output file: 
/home/boost-HEAD/results/bin/boost/status/io_test.test/qcc-3.3.5-gpp/debug/test_log.xml

I also checked the results server via ftp and saw that I am not the only 
tester to have posted truncated results recently. CalebEpstein & OSL3 
also have similar length results files.
