Event ID

[James Kingston]

Okay... same idea, take 2:

Take the md5sum of the hostname-(servicename|hostalert)-timet string
and return as many characters of it as you can afford given the space
restraints.  Using the last 10 chars from the md5sum would give you a
1 in a trillion chance of your IDs colliding.  We use this idea to
generate email Message-ID and In-Reply-To headers
