Thanks for your answer Richard. I already have read your tutorial.

I wrote my classes to be self sufficient, so they don't access any 
global or shared memory.
In my test suite, I use fixture and all I set during the set-up is a 
data structure (the one I want to test) and some stuff to fill the data 
structure (int and std::string, no pointers), so the fixture do not 
share anything (except if boost's smart pointers or BGL has some memory 
issues, but I really doubt it :)

But again, the weird part is when I call Tree's template member function 
(template on iterators), Graph's tests that previously passed now failed 
(some values are not in the right place, like if they were add in the 
wrong order).

Anyway, thanks for your help.
