Hi,

> on NonStop "uuid.py" falls throw to  random.range() call to generate the random number

And indeed, the random module gets identical results in both parent
and child after a fork().  This seems to mean that the random module
is not safe to use in uuid without taking special care of this fact
(e.g. feeding back os.getpid() into the seed).

A bientôt,

Armin.
