 In buildbot 0.8.3p1, there appear to be a possible sequence of events in
 which a build's end_time can become the value "True", which is not a legal
 time.

 Here is an example taken from a builder page:
 --

 Timing:

 Start   Sat Feb 12 10:15:41 2011
 End     Wed Dec 31 16:00:01 1969
 Elapsed -1297534540 secs
 --

 And if I look at the JSON API output I see:
 --

   "times": [
     1297534541.848984,
     true
   ]
 --

 At this point, I don't know the exact sequence of events which reproduces
 this issue, but I have seen it multiple times.

 I believe it tends to happen when there is some sort of slave disconnect
 event.
