Ah, you're right. We've got three different versions of MRTG running on
three different machines. And various cron jobs running on other unknown
machines that expect .gif files to be in certain places. Anyways, one of
the older versions we've got tries to be strict about intervals.

Yep, I'm aware of the hazards of running mrtg too often, which is
probably why we have three machines splitting up this mess. But thanks
for the advice all the same.
