Hi Bernt,

I think the right place would be `org-clock-sum'.  Right now,
this looks only for complete clock lines.  You could modify the regexp
to check for incomplete lines (first time stamp only) and then check
if the org-clock-marker points to the current line.  If yes, you could
use the current time as the end time and proceed.

Send me a patch if you get this to work, with a customization variable
to turn this off.
