Hi,
there seems to be a very strange effect with dividing comp variables in 3.0.0:
Dividing a comp variable x by any number which is not 1 or x gives result 0.
Tested on a i386 machine.
It works fine with for example with fpc 2.6.4.
I know I can use int64 instead, but we have a lot of very old, but reliable,
code around.
Example below.
i see the same using your code on x86_64 linux...
