There is an error in the data file which comes with version 1.10.2
of udunits.  Line 412, the conversion factor for Btu to Joules, is
off by a factor of 1000 and should be:

IT_Btu                  P 1.055056e3 joule      # exact

Of course there are also errors in the unix units conversion program
too.
