Thanks.
I've applied this patch, though with a few changes.

1/ I personally despise the "!strcmp()" usage.  It seems to be saying "not"
   but it is actually saying "is equal".  I always write
       strcmp(a,c) == 0
   or != or < or whatever comparison is wanted.
2/ You assume that both names have a uuid but that may not be correct.  You
   need to check 'uuid_set'.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
