Please note that RRDtool's author has fixed this (r1459) as of 12 Aug 2008. It would be Real Nice to get the fix in before the ports are completely frozen for 6.4=R and 7.1-R. >How-To-Repeat: See <http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool-trac/ticket/170>. >Fix: See <http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool-trac/changeset/1459>. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
