You will be happy to know that in the version of Unix we are running
here, the man page for "units" has nothing resembling a BUGS section.
Therefore, the "units" program at this site is perfect. It is an
example of high-quality software engineering because the programmers
didn't include any of those stupid "bugs" sections in the man page.

Do you feel stupid yet?  You should.
