They are (quite broken).

Unfortunately, Jens Maurer has stopped maintaining Boost.Random, and random numbers are tricky enough so noone else with the sufficient expertise has taken over.
Well, I'll use tr1::random from now on, but I think there should be at least a big red warning in the documentation website about this, specially if no one will address these problems in the near future... I've been using this library for quite some time, and I had no idea that it was unmaintained.
