The actual bug is that ' has a special meaning when it the first
character of a line in 'roff.

If you move the last word of the previous line down in front of
the word 'unscaled' the 's are interpreted properly.

The other similar uses in that page use the idiom '\fBunscaled\fR'
rather than just 'unscaled'.  Perhaps that one should, too.
