With the NAME/TOKEN, it would be pretty hard to accidentally use the same token 
name (assuming you give your token a non-generic name).  For ours they all 
start with "Syzygy_somthing" or "Syz_somethingelse" and since you have 16 bytes 
to play with you would have to try pretty hard to "accidentally" use it.  

At first we were worried that "Syz" was close to "Sys" but when it came down to 
it, there were too many other characters in the name(s) that chances of reusing 
someone else's was deemed to be extremely low.  

I have since noticed that a lot of vendors even use non-readable characters to 
be really sure they are unique.  We have considered doing something like that, 
but decided that seeing Syz was important if we ever actually had a problem 
that warranted a dump.
