Were they all kicked off at the same time?  Most of my cloneids appear
to be identical to 'nsavetime'.

$ mminfo -av -r 'ssid,cloneid,nsavetime'
 ssid         clone id  save time
559752705   1075927189 1075927189
599987201   1076085426 1076085426
[snip]

By using a timestamp of when the clone was created, it should be unique
for a given ssid.

Although I wonder what would happen if you cloned A to B, then kicked
off clones at the same moment for A->C and B->D.  Presumably database
constraints would keep them from getting the same cloneid.

I see no reason for that.
