[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #38270] Units conversion from degC to K has syntax error

[Vote 539]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #38270 (project octave):

It's strange how we are all getting different results when running this
command.

It appears that units.m is running the `units` command.  Here is the output of
`units "degF" "degK"` on my installation of units:

$ units "degF" "K"
         (-> x*0.55555556 +255.37222)
         (<- y*1.8 -459.67)

Here is my version of the `units` utility:

$ units -v

  units version 1.0  Copyright (c) 1993 by Adrian Mariano
                    This program may be freely distributed
usage: units [-f unitsfile] [-q] [-v] [from-unit to-unit]

I am running OS X and using the default installation of units.

For the record, the correct conversion from 90 degF to K is 305.372 K.
