Two node Cassandra cluster (at latest rev) fails with "Not a time-based UUID"

I've been running a one node cassandra cluster (on windows) at 1.1.3. I added a 2nd node (on ubuntu) also at 1.1.3.

When I start the first node all is well, but when I start the second node I get an error on the first node: "UnsupportedOperationException: Not a time-based UUID.

Researching this error it seems like an error one might get if mixing older and newer cassandras in the same cluster but thats not the case here.

The cassandra.yaml files on the two machines are vanilla (i.e. unchanged from download except for relevant IP addresses).

Any suggestions appreciated.

The reason why this is happening is because of little-endian vs big-endian on Windows machines vs Unix.

AFAIK, mixing nodes with different OS in the same cluster isn't supported.
