According to document, os.times()[0] is process user time, [1] is system
time. However this two value was implemented exchanged on windows.

Python all versions have this issue. Attached patch is for trunk.

How can we test it? What can we do to "see" it?

As a suggestion, we could just run some computation that does no system
call:

>>> import os
>>> os.times()
(0.015625, 0.015625, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
>>> max(xrange(10000000))   # this takes half a second on my machine
9999999
>>> os.times()
(0.015625, 0.484375, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)

utime delta should be much higher than stime delta. This is obviously
not the case here; the values seems inverted.
   (os.times() -> (utime, stime, cutime, cstime, elapsed_time))

Fixed on trunk in r60758. Should this be backported?
