Thanks for the welcome. :)

I've found something in dmesg about uuids:

[ 5082.367340] gtg[4333]: segfault at 8 ip 00007f95dd57e9d2 sp
00007ffff23614d0 error 6 in libuuid.so.1.3.0[7f95dd57d000+4000]
[ 5119.329740] gtg[4575]: segfault at 8 ip 00007f5a1f8af9d2 sp
00007fff6dd74e30 error 6 in libuuid.so.1.3.0[7f5a1f8ae000+4000]
[ 7920.250220] gtg[32397]: segfault at 8 ip 00007fa971ae49d2 sp
00007fffbb013590 error 6 in libuuid.so.1.3.0[7fa971ae3000+4000]

And I was told on #gtg support channel that it has to be something with
this bug:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317557

Here is the strace log, too: http://pastebin.com/LRyLgv1H

The solution may be downgrade of the sys-apps/util-linux and libuuid
library. A quick fix is random number generator for uuid, for now. :D
