Stefan Krah <stefan-use...@bytereef.org> added the comment:

5. uuid.getnode() can fall back to creating a random 48 bit number and
   so can  _windll_getnode() (by using UuidCreateSequential). Therefore,
   in unlucky cases 0xffffffffffff can be generated and the assert in
   check_node() will fail.


check_node() is beginning to look quite pointless...
