[mrtg] Graph Pitfalls

I'm getting some errors that are really skewing my graphs. I'm measuring
the interface traffic on an alteon 180e and during the busier times of
day, I'm presented with the following:
=20
Rateup WARNING: /usr/bin/rateup could not read the primary log file for
dfwaceres1_9
Rateup ERROR: /usr/bin/rateup found alteon1_9's log file was corrupt or
not in sorted order: time: 1060011000.
Rateup WARNING: /usr/bin/rateup The backup log file for alteon1_9 was
invalid as well
WARNING: rateup died from Signal 0 with Exit Value 1 when doing router
'alteon1_9' Signal was 0, Returncode was 1

What causes this sort of thing? Is it a question of the counters =
flipping
over, hence MRTG assuming the logfile is invalid? Here's a sample from =
the
log file:
