Summary: [patch] usr.bin/units: malformed definitions for some
constants in definitions.units
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me

definitions.units patch
The constants electronmass, protonmass, and neutronmass are missing the 'e' in
their scientific notation. The units program doesn't really do much validation
either, so attempting to use them produces totally nonsensical results:
$ units '1 electronmass' 'kg'
* 282.39085
/ 0.0035411913
Electrons are obviously not that heavy :)
