[mrtg] Log File all 0-values

[Brian A. Seklecki]

It was calling rateup with:

--log: Called /usr/local/bin/rateup /var/www/htdocs/mrtg/pgsql/ 
slon.db00.events.mn 1174406129 -Z u 51884 51884 100000000 c #00cc00 
#0000ff #006600 #ff00ff l [events] k 1000 i 
/var/www/htdocs/mrtg/pgsql/slon.db00.events.mn-day.png -100000000 
-100000000 400 100 1 1 1 300 0 4 1 %Y-%m-%d %H:%M 0

--log: Called /usr/local/bin/rateup /var/www/htdocs/mrtg/pgsql/ 
slon.db00.events.mn 1174406108 -Z u 51874 51874 100000000 c #00cc00 
#0000ff #006600 #ff00ff l [events] k 1000 i 
/var/www/htdocs/mrtg/pgsql/slon.db00.events.mn-day.png -100000000 
-100000000 400 100 1 1 1 300 0 4 1 %Y-%m-%d %H:%M 0

The value was clearly increasing.

I was troubleshooting it for a while and changed too many independant 
variables to figure out why it was disqualifying data...

BUT IT SHOULD WARN ME if it's going that; and at least try to speculate 
why (or I can infer from where the error comes from)

This has happened to be before and it drives me mad because --debug is 
beign w/o an intimate knowledge or RRD tool.
