Not if the crypt function is properly defined:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION crypt(text, text)
RETURNS text
AS 'MODULE_PATHNAME', 'pg_crypt'
LANGUAGE C IMMUTABLE STRICT;
The CVS history shows that the STRICT marker was added in 8.1.
If you are still using pre-8.1 definitions of the pgcrypto
functions (no doubt via a long chain of dump/reload), you really need to
update them to current, because you're missing a lot of functionality.
