The output voltage is not reported correctly. This is a bug in the HID
descriptor, similar to what we have seen on other Tripp Lite devices;
it's a purely cosmetic issue and I haven't had time yet to fix it.

Don't worry, NUT runs on a *lot* of different systems, and not all of
them are recent 2.6 kernels, or even Linux. It will be a long time
until this code is removed.
