conversion from 'unsigned long' to 'boost::uint8_t warning

[Jeff Flinn <jflinn@…>]

...\boost_1_44_0\boost/uuid/random_generator.hpp(93) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion from 'unsigned long' to 'boost::uint8_t', possible loss of data

with MSVC8

[Marshall Clow]

Here's the line of code:

            *it = ((random_value >> (i*8)) & 0xFF);

As you can see, there's no loss of data here, since the value is anded with 0xFF before being stored into the iterator. The compiler is just being a PITA.

Added a static_cast to get rid of warning. Committed to trunk.
