Another possibility is that you've matched hashes: I've had that a couple of times. Every forum message is hashed, and those values are compared to prevent duplication. With the number of messages involved, at some point you will meet a hash collision and get that message. Changing a character gets rid of it!

If one is using a hash that can cause collisions, then maybe one should do an additional check if the hatches match? I've seen such a suggestion somewhere on MSDN.

legacy code I'd suspect - I doubt if they ever expected the number of posts they current have when they decoded which hash to use.
But personally? Yes, I'd do a text comparison for hash matches.
