 Distance and area measurmenents as well as scale are broken in latlon
 coordinate system.

 I have my project and layer CRSs set correct, both ll/WGS84, OTFR not
 enabled.

 When I set the unit to degree, the scale seems reasonable, but length and
 area mesaured are definitely wrong. With units set to meters the scale is
 also several magnitudes too huge and lenght measurments at meters instead
 of hundreds of kilometers.

 Latest SVN trunk on Debian testing amd64.
