You should verify this. I doubt that you are right, as both the
scheduling as well as the clock granularity are discrete (and rather
coarse).

I suggest you use either the mechanism of

  *  the "BrowserIdManager"::it combines a time with a random number

  *  the "ZCatalog": it chooses per thread a random number and
     then assignes sequentially, until a conflict happens.
     Then it restarts (choosing a random number...)

Apparently, you have more than a single type of error...


Are you the person that used "try: ... except: ..."?

   The non-deterministic inconsistencies caused by such constructs
   can look like what you decribe above...
