Hi rhaazy, haven't seen you for a while.

This is in interesting problem, one that as a group we may be able to
identify better.

If everyone runs the following code and posts their results (with .Net
version, OS and 32 / 64 bit), we might be able to track it down:

String password = "passwordabc123987";
            System.Security.Cryptography.MD5 md5 = new
System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
            Byte[] result = md5.ComputeHash
(System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes(password));
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            for (int i = 0; i < result.Length; i++)
            {
                sb.Append(result[i].ToString("X2"));
            }
            Console.WriteLine("Encoded Hash: " + sb.ToString());

My results (.Net 2.0, Windows server 2003 32-bit)
