A lot of the units stuff was broken on Unicode builds and various
people (me certainly, I think also Luke) made various changes in an
attempt to fix them. It's possible we made a mistake. You might want
to try the unit conversion stuff in the Blobby Dialog (test dialog)
and see if it works in a German locale.
