Hi Francis,

the patch looks good and I think using the time is reasonable to
guarantee uniqueness.  I'll use it for a few days and report if I have
problems; have you been using it?  I'd like to get at least one
successful tester besides myself before I commit the patch.

Also, do you have papers on file for Gnus?  It's a tiny patch so I'm not
sure of the procedure there; if you plan to contribute in the future it
would be great to have the assignment.

Ted
