PostgreSQL version: 8.2.4
Operating system:   Linux fedora(for work) and windows(for development)
Description:        pgsql function sum()
Details: 

I saw a very strange behavior when i used function SUM() in query (used
inside pg function), query:

select magazyn, ciag, numer, datawp, vat, sum(wnetto-wnettop) as wn,
sum(wvat-wvatp) as wv, sum(wbrutto-wbruttop) as wb from vzk_pozycjezinfo
where magazyn = $1 and ciag = $2 and numer = $3 and datawp = $4
group by magazyn, ciag, numer, datawp, vat 
order by magazyn, ciag, numer, datawp, vat 

vzk_pozycjezinfo is view

problem is in: sum(wvat-wvatp) where field in view wvat = 33.08 and wvatp =
36.09 
Result is -3.01000000000001 

If I ask postgres manualy: select sum(33.08 - 36.09)
result is ok -3.01 

Now I fix it with round function but i think that is a bug.

With regards
Mirek
