conditions are always met. The patch can be applied to any version
of Postgres95 from 1.02 to 1.05. After applying the patch, queries
using indices on bpchar and varchar fields should (hopefully ;-) )
always return the same tuple set regardless to the fact whether
indices are used or not.

------------
This patch was necessary for the OpenLink Postgres Database Agent.
I think this fixes a bug anyway.
The following query demonstrates this bug:
create table foo (bar varchar);
insert into foo values (''); -- no problem
select * from foo where bar = ''; -- fails
