Section Appendix A says: 

static unsigned16 true_random(void);

/* uuid_create -- generator a UUID */
int uuid_create(uuid_t *uuid)
{
     uuid_time_t timestamp, last_time;

It should say:

static unsigned16 true_random(void);

/* uuid_create -- generate a UUID */
int uuid_create(uuid_t *uuid)
{
     uuid_time_t timestamp, last_time;

Notes:

The comment above the declaration of uuid_create() uses "generate a UUID", so the comment above the definition is likely intended to be identical.
