+The GUIDs generated by the program to uniquely identify disks and
+partitions aren't "proper" GUIDs; they're purely random numbers. In
+practice, this has caused me no problems; however, it's conceivable that
+some disk utility will complain. The Unix versions of GPT fdisk generate
+proper GUIDs, as of version 0.6.3. Note that this limitation applies ONLY
+to the unique GUIDs for disks and partitions, not to the GUIDs used to
+identify partition type codes; those are standardized and are handled
+correctly by all versions of GPT fdisk.
