It seems to be working fine. I've just switched two of the OSL testers
over to using it, so hopefully we'll see more reliable results on our
testers. To use the timeout feature, just add the following to your
regression.py invocation:

        --bjam-options="-l300"

I don't know the appropriate timeout value, so I guessed 5 minutes.
We'll see after these runs complete whether that is enough time.
