Synopsis: /usr/bin/units mangles temperature conversion

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: greid
State-Changed-When: Mon Feb 4 14:49:30 PST 2002
State-Changed-Why: 
This is expected behaviour.  From units(1):

     The units program converts quantities expressed in various scales to
     their equivalents in other scales.  The units program can only handle
     multiplicative scale changes.  It cannot convert Celsius to Fahrenheit,
     for example.
