Same plaintext - differing ciphertext using RSA

Hello,

  I'm using RSA encryption with ECB and OAEP padding. When I encrypt
the same plaintext multiple times using the same RSA public key, I get
differing ciphertext representations.

  Everything works fine (I can decrypt both ciphertexts without
problems), but I'm just curious about what is going on. I would have
thought that the same plaintext would produce exactly the same
ciphertext.

  Can anyone explain what is happening here? Thanks.

Regards,

Bill
