node-uuid 1.3.2 not working with node v0.4.12

[gavinuhma]

crypto.randomBytes wasn't added until node v0.6.0. The compatibility check (try/catch) doesn't work.

_rb gets set as undefined and doesn't fail until it's later called (outside of the try/catch).

https://github.com/broofa/node-uuid/blob/master/uuid.js#L44

resulting error:

node.js:134
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
        ^
TypeError: undefined is not a function

something like this should work (not tested)..

try {
  var _rb = require('crypto').randomBytes;
  if (_rb) {
    nodeRNG = function() {
      return _rb(16);
    };
  }
} catch (e) {}

Thx for the report, @gavinuhma. Sorry for any inconvenience. (fwiw, I was testing on v0.5.8, where randomBytes() is defined, so I guess this was added somewhere in 0.5.x.)

Oh, and 1.3.3 is npm-published, so an npm update should fix things.

great. thanks :)
