Comment:

 A few cleanups:

  * Use named constants instead of "magic numbers".
  * Fix a few minor non-standard formatting issues.
  * {{{throw std::bad_alloc()}}} if {{{UuidToString()}}} fails.
  * {{{#include <cstring>}}} since we use functions from it ({{{memset}}},
 etc.)
  * Mark the exceptional cases as {{{rare()}}}.
  * Don't cast away {{{const}}}.
  * Make copying the result of {{{UuidToString()}}} robust so it can never
 overflow the supplied 37 byte buffer even if {{{UuidToString()}}}
 misbehaves.

 Can you test the shortly-to-be-attached patch?
