Descripción

Bug report

Bug description:

uuid.uuid1() produces UUIDs with corrupted variant bits when called concurrently with the GIL disabled.

The variant bits (byte 8, top 2 bits) should be 0b10 (RFC 4122) but are
observed as 0b11.

Workaround

If uuid._generate_time_safe is called at least once at import time, issue is no longer reproducible.
