I'll look into that. for 3.4.0b3

Mmm the testCreateRandom runs only if
	(UUID new asString last: 12) = (UUID new asString last: 12)
is false, because I consider that if two UUID have the same last 12  
octets then we must have a NIC card about.
However I've heard that some flavors of Windows one-way hash the UUID  
so that  regular folks cann't backtract to
a particular nic. So I'm wondering what thouse two UUID being generated  
are would be. So could you send me a couple
from the problem machine?

Now for testCreationNodeBased  I've heard of that failing because it  
seems Microsoft extended the UUID standard. They just use a different  
UUID version stamp for which I've not seen any documentation for.
