Pardon me for this, but it's Monday morning here and I'm in shallow
thinking mode.

I was just looking over Wes's questions about checking database
integrity, and the responses given, and I'm wondering if keeping a live
CRC on each record would make sense? Or is this already done, or maybe
an option? (Not that it would in any way solve Wes's company's current
problem, ...)
