The upgradeable_mutex_test test in the interprocess library is
deadlocking on sun-5.8 (Sparc).
This kind of problem is breaking our regression testing too often.
It's not Ion's fault: the regression testing needs to be robust
against this kind of failure. On Windows, we have the built-monitor
option to kill stuck processes. On Unix, we could just set the ulimit
and be done with it... but how to integrate this into bjam/BBv2?
