The change seems fine.

Do you think it would make sense to replace
"00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444" with
"00000000-1111-4222-b333-444444444444" all over the tree?  It shouldn't
make any difference as it is used only by tests but still it is an
incorrect UUID.

Not in the scope of this patch: should util.validate_uuid be changed as
well?

Cheers,
Giuseppe
