"""
Note about pgcrypto - the functions were made STRICT in 8.1
and the NULL check was removed in 8.2 from C code.  If some
database still contains non-STRICT signatures from 8.0 and below,
the functions will crash on NULL.  To fix it the pgcrypto.sql
needs to be run that will re-create the signatures.
"""
