Seems that the version of wave in current boost 1.33.1 release candidate 
crashes and hangs lot less than the one in 1.33.0 release, thanks. What is 
great it does not crash or refuse on its own code anymore.

As for big integers ... i am no expert, but maybe it is not best idea to use 
implementations that contain assembler parts in cross-platform libraries 
like boost. 15 years ago it was very common to use manually optimized code 
in critical parts, these days however C++ compilers do optimizations all 
better and better.

Got pair of questions too but no need to answer if no and no. ;-)
Is there simple way to setup bjam to preprocess the whole boost library with 
wave? So to get the impression how good it is.
Is there an option to direct the output into *.i files instead of stdout? I 
currently do it with -o option just that .i file seems to be default for 
most other C++ preprocessors. Getting slightly bored to type twice.
Thanks again.
