CreateUUID.createUUID() produces output with '=' sign

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. run this code:
   var uid:String = CreateUUID.createUUID();
   trace(uid);
2. notice that in about 1 in 10 cases the generated uid string contains an
   equal sign = as the last character

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A pseudo random string without any equal signs.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OSX, Flexbuilder 3.

Please provide any additional information below.
It almost appears that the line
return nonce.toLowerCase().replace("=", "");
in the CreateUUID is buggy since the last = sign is not replaced.
