About UUID test

hi john

do you have any idea how to solve the test

testCreationRandom
        | uuid |

        (UUID new asString last: 12) = (UUID new asString last: 12) ifTrue:  
[^self].
        1000 timesRepeat:
                [uuid _ UUID new.
                self should: [((uuid at: 7) bitAnd: 16rF0) = 16r40].
                self should: [((uuid at: 9) bitAnd: 16rC0) = 16r80]]


I do not understand
this line exactly
        ((uuid at: 7) bitAnd: 16rF0) = 16r40

I would like to start cleaning all the tests in 3.9 and only ship a  
green image.

I think that's a test for compliance with the various UUID type
indicators. A UUID can be created from host id + timestamp + counter,
or from a random number, and I think the original DCE spec had a third
method (http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9629399/apdxa.htm for
example). So the UUID isn't simply a random byte string, there are
some interpretable fields in there.

Hear, hear!

Hi,

I just checked on here, and the test is green (6720). The VM I use is
