Re: bytea corruption?

good catch - it's because i'm used to working in plperlu.
unfortunately commenting out those lines makes no difference for this
particular data (that i linked in my original email); it's still
corrupted:

# ./bytea.pl
37652cf91fb8d5e41d3a90ea3a22ea61 != ce3fc63b88993af73fb360c70b7ec965
