James,

Thanks much for the explanation and fix.  I'll try to figure out how to 
apply it to the NT version.

Do you know if Tobi plans to distribute your fix, or is he counting on 
everyone migrating to rrdtool?  This bug is going to hit anyone doing 
temperature in metrically challenged countries like the U.S...

To anyone with this particular bug, you can temporarily bypass the failure 
by using a conversion like F = C * 2.0 + 26.  This will give you an integer 
value for F which is reasonably correct over the limited temperature range 
of 25c-40c which are normally found in equipment.  (I know it's a kludge, 
but it's better than no graphical data at all.)
