Yes, you are correct.  The attached, applied patch for Postgres 9.3 will
properly display units.  I checked all the other variables and they all
had proper units.

I also removed an unnecessary units designation in
postgresql.conf.sample for a zero value --- if we want to put units on
zero values, we should do it consistently in a separate patch.
