To make it worse.  (still a bug in gnucap snapshot, but will be 
fixed before the stable release)...

In Spice:
1M is .001
1m is .001
1Meg is 1e6
1Mil is 1*25.4e-6

The official "SI" units  (Verilog, Spectre, etc..)
1M is 1e6
1m is .001

.. so it depends on the file format, or what "language" is 
selected.

Don't blame me.  I didn't make the standard.

When I refer to "Spice" here, I refer to "spice format" which 
gnucap uses.

Same goes for gnetlist ....   Outputting for Spice means Spice 
format.  It is used for more than just the Spice program.  
That's why there is no "gnucap" option.  The snapshot also 
reads Verilog or Spectre format.  When you run gnetlist, say 
what format you want, not what application it is for.

Not too far in the future, gnucap will also have language 
options to mimic different variants of Spice.
