Yeah, that's a bug.  That's going to happen anywhere in the main
gismu or cmavo lists that there were places with "x" followed by a
number less than 6.  This is almost always place structure data, but
sometimes not.  We can really only fix them as we find them.

This problem probably only occurs in the few gismu for metric prefixes.  Maybe a mex or two.  Anywhere where explicit multiplication occurs in the definition of the gismu.
