>is there a problem with the createUUID() function in cf?

Hi Ken,
On win 98 that function seems to generate non-random results.

Run this code on a Win98,

<cfoutput>
        <cfloop index="theUUID" from="1" to="15" step="1">
                #CreateUUID()#
        </cfloop>
</cfoutput>


 I got these:

Output of 15 CreateUUID() calls on Win98

0BBAE936-5A06-11D5-99030060672D598B

Is this a bad thing though?
