The "UUID bug" is related to the Linux runtimes, and may or may not
appear depending on what version of OS you are running.

Try one of the standard Unix VMs at:

  http://squeakvm.org/unix/

or follow the links to Eliot's Cog VMs at:

  http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r2489/

All of these newer VMs have adopted fixes that should prevent
the UUID bug from biting you.
