Yes, the learning curve is quite steep ;-)) Feel free to ask, I'm not a guru, 
but experienced users ;-)

Thanks. I found that the split up "test_add" case is running into a deadlock. 
Please find the helgrind dump attached.
The code in "set_generator" ist trying to lock the mutext which is already 
locked in the constructor.

By the way, why is "random_by_size" a class member ? A far as I can see it 
could very well be a free function. And I wonder about "return 
BOOST_XINT_MOVE(p);" instead of "return p;" and let the compiler optimise the 
return via NRVO...

You're welcome. I've been looking for a large integer as a building block for 
fixed decimal arithmetik for quite a while ;-))

Yours,
