The symptom of the heisenbug is having the uniquieId field modified so
that the second half is exactly the same as the first half.  Thorough
examination of any code that touches that field finds nothing that
even modifies it, much less copies over half the bits.  Our best idea
as to the cause is a JVM but in the JIT compiling that some JVMs do.
The fact that the corruption only happens occasionally after the node
has been running for a while makes even building a workaround (other
than what we've done already) all the much harder.
