It turned out that in my case (IB6 instead of Firebird), dialect 1 (which I
was using) gave different results than what you have. I'll install FB 1.0
the soonest.

Hmm, something must be different between us. Using IB_SQL (the new name for
IB_WISQL) I do get 0.1 running against Firebird 0.9.4 on a dialect 3
database.

If I remember correctly, you did divide by 100 in your query. Are you
saying that your result doesn't improve if you change that to 100.00?
