[mrtg] Chunky rrdtool graph

what happens is that rrdtool picks the RRA which best covers the
area of the graph, my guess is that your 'hires' RRA is too short
for the long graph you ask rrdtool to draw. it therefore switches
to the lower res rrd which covers the whole area you are asking
rrdtool to graph ...

a 'more' intelligent version of fetch could fill only the missing
values from the higher res rra if any ones care to contribute to
1.3 :-)

cheers
