Log:
Fixed UUID collisions on Linux by porting FreeBSD srandomdev() to it.
If a program is run several times, clock() returns relatively often an identical
value and with the low precision: 13000, 17000 etc. for example with ukrun on my
machine. This number is used as a seed, so identical sequences of UUIDs can
easily happen on Linux. This problem would also occur for multiple programs that
run concurrently and create UUIDs.
