[Remind-Fans] [PATCH] Fix default value for -z

[Simon Ruderich]

Hello,

I noticed that the default value for -z is not 5 as mentioned in
the man page but 1.

The following patches fix the problem. Either by updating the man
page (and the source comment) or changing the default to 5.

I'm not sure what's the best way to handle that, but I guess some
people rely on the current real default and patching the man page
is better for backwards compatibility.
