Cool! That's where the sanity check Merlin suggested comes in really
handy. You can manually key in what you think it's showing, and
compare with the two rows:

sikorsky@sikorsky:~$ psql -c "select md5('Roaccutane')"
               md5

 70f818454267c719ed612f50fe563f64
(1 row)

Anything that shows a different hash is clearly different... somehow.
