Point taken.  No, it would do no good at all, to use the computed crypt to
later check the computed crypt to see if an exact match was found.

What exactly were the side effects?  If it was that simply the -list was
failing, then just use -form=dynamic_26, or -form=raw-sha1 on the show
command line.  I really think the rebuild is the correct way to go.  The
hashes are CORRECT in the .pot file.  The other way, you end up with
garbage.  They list themselves as dyna_26, but are broken.
