Is there any news on this?  I am getting it too except in my case it is 
LSE traded ETFs at all times.

Unless someone has an update I'll try explaining it my way, possibly in 
a new thread with more detail.

Meanwhile, when I first saw this I thought it was a GBX issue (i.e. the 
decimal was being shifted the wrong way in an attempt to make it GBP) 
but that didn't explain some of the other phenomena.

My instinct suggests the problem is outside of the gnc universe but I 
haven't been able to work out who is doing what yet.

In practical terms this isn't a big deal for me, I update prices once a 
week at most and have 3 stocks that are affected and I just edit the 
prices by hand by shifting the decimal point to the correct place.  For 
someone else this could be a genuine PITA.
