ID dups with FastUUIDGen
------------------------

         Key: AXIS-1943
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-1943
     Project: Axis
        Type: Bug
    Versions: current (nightly)    
 Environment: IA-32 PC, GNU/Linux, Fedora Core 3, kernel 2.6.11-1.14_FC3, JDK 
1.4.2_06-b03
    Reporter: M Kisimoto
    Priority: Minor


org.apache.axis.components.uuid.FastUUIDGen
generates (probabilistic) duplicated IDs.

The definition
(http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9629399/apdxa.htm#tagcjh_20_02_01)
claims to increment sequence, but FastUUIDGen uses
random numbers to update. Because birthday paradox
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_paradox),
this cause relatively (very) high possibility of
duplication.

I'll attach fix patch.
