dc: bug in documenation DC_LINE_LENGTH

$ man dc

Doesn't say:

       DC_LINE_LENGTH
              This should be an integer specifying the number of characters
in
              an output line for numbers. This includes the backslash and
new‐
              line characters for long numbers.  As an extension, the value
of
              zero disables the multi-line feature.  Any other value  of
this
              variable that is less than 3 sets the line length to 70.

But, it does work:

$ DC_LINE_LENGTH=0 dc
256k 1 17/p

Please fix the documenation.
