Description: When a column with the chkpass datatype is used in a
where clause it returns invalid results
Details:

My schema is as follows:

CREATE TABLE account
(
"AccountId" int4 NOT NULL DEFAULT
nextval('public."account_AccountId_seq"'::text),
"AccountName" varchar(255) NOT NULL,
"Password" chkpass,
"Description" varchar(255),
CONSTRAINT account_pkey PRIMARY KEY ("AccountId"),
CONSTRAINT "account_Username_key" UNIQUE ("AccountName")
)
WITHOUT OIDS;

I ran the following queries and got unexpected results:

UPDATE Account
SET "Password" = 'password1'
WHERE "AccountName" = 'Trevor'

SELECT *
FROM Account
WHERE "AccountName" = 'Trevor'
AND "Password" = 'password2'

(I ran them individually)

The Select query unexpectedly returned a result. I also added another digit
on the end of 'password2' i.e. 'password21' and that returned the same
result. I also changed it to 'password3' etc. and got the same result and
the same with 'password'. When I changed it to 'passwor1' it did not return
a result.

Running SELECT * FROM Account returns two rows, one with the accountname of
'administrator' and the other 'Trevor'.
