The point is that on UNIX get_internal_run_time returns
two values (run time and child time) while on mingw it
returns just one value.  Thus on mingw child time
gets value NIL and this nonnumber value breaks
TIME.  One can either make get_internal_run_time return
0 as second value on mingw or fix TIME to cope
with NIL.  I don't know which way is correct.
