Nothing? (which is the problem, I think). 

The non-primitive version in UUIDgenerator is probably broken. It's the risk
with random UUID's, that if your random generator repeats, UUID's repeat. 

Short-term fix: if you're on Linux, open /dev/urandom, read 16 bytes, plug
that into the result of 'UUID new'. That will give you good quality random
UUID's until someone comes up with a plugin for Linux (at least as far as I
can see, there's no plugin for Linux).

(alternative: feed the output from 'uuidgen -r' to the fromString: constructor
of UUID. However, that quite likely does the same as what I described above).

If nobody volunteered for fixing this, I'll take a peek tonight.
