Almost impossible, it depends on how fast they're being generated and the precision of the timestamp. The real problem is two years later when someone finds and removes that usleep(10000); /* sleep 10 µs */ that was the hard speed brake needed for the UUID generator, and suddenly duplicate IDs start showing up a few times per day or something similar.
