$ echo '.ll 12u' | groff -Tascii -ww
troff:<standard input>:1: warning: invalid line length 0u rounded to device
horizontal motion quantum

(I have not done a build since
[http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=4a1898b70 commit
4a1898b70], a few days ago, changed this warning text.  It also slightly
refactored the test gating the diagnostic.  But it did not change the number
(temp.to_units()) reported by the diagnostic.  So, while I'm not running
bleeding-edge code, I'm reasonably confident the bug is still there.)
