The attached patch has been compiled with Sun, Ibm (vacpp), Gcc,
Intel, Pathscale, and Pgi unix toolsets. As you'll notice in the
patch, I use both setrlimit, to set a maximum cpu process usage
limit, and have logic to compute the elapsed time in seconds to catch
processes that hang and fail to consume any cpu. The setrlimit call
is not strictly necessary and could be removed, but I've left it in
for now, and it may be useful to constrain other resource usage in
the future).

I've set up all my nightly Boost regression tests to pass -l100, just
to make sure something gets killed and reaped. This means the Sandia
results will be suspect for the next day or so as I may be killing
tests that would, if given enough time, complete and pass just fine.
If my tests run okay tonight (no hangs or other weirdness), and
there's no other objections, I'll commit this patch to the trunk
sometime tomorrow.
