If anyone has any specific information as to the root cause of the libuuid
bug, I'd appreciate if you can update the bug report here:

  http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7358

I had previously tried to summarize as follows:

But it's not clear if this is accurate given the recent reports here.
In particular, if a precompiled Cog VM with the UUID plugin compiled
internally leads to a crash, then the above is not a sufficient
workaround (at least not on Cog).

If we are seeing crashes on Cog with an internal UUID plugin, but
not on the traditional VM with an internal UUID plugin, then I think
I smell a pthread related issue.

Thanks,
Dave
