Aha, so it seems that bug lies in uuid library.. Is there a way to find out the buggy version and then add a workaround into plugin? Something like put ' if (uuid_version() == xxx ) {} '

Someone (faried) has added an additional Mantis report on this problem, see http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7371.
The new bug report contains some useful gdb output showing a segfault occuring in the actual uuid_generate() library call. The VM support code wrapping this call looks dead simple, so I'm hard pressed to see how that could be wrong. This plugin is trivial; we must be missing something obvious.
Note, I'm not actually working on this bug, and I've never seen it happen. I'm just tracking it in Mantis and hoping that someone can point to a solution.
Anything to do with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471801 ?
FYI, faried has provided some excellent follow up information on this issue on Mantis 7358, including a link to http://bugs.python.org/issue6059, which appears to show Python running into the same library bug.
