Hello
I had a look at your patch, which applies fine to PostgreSQL master. I noticed that the new regression tests you have
addedto test utf-8 encoding fails on my setup (make check) with the following diffs:

---------------------------------------
I am not sure but it seems that you intentionally provide a text input that would produce a non-utf-8 compliant
decryptedoutput, which triggers the error from within "pg_verifymbstr()" call that you have added in pgp-pgsql.c? Are
theerrors expected in your new test case? If so, then the tests shall pass instead because it has caught a invalid
encodingin decrypted output.
Generally, I am ok with the extra encoding check after text decryption but do not think if it is a good idea to just
errorout and abort the transaction when it detects invalid encoding character. text decryption routines may be used
quitefrequently and users generally do not expect them to abort transaction. It may be ok to just give them a warning
aboutinvalid character encoding.
thanks
