Thanks for explaining. I can't fix it myself, because I haven't enough
experience with perl programming.

I have completely upgraded MRTG with all libs to 2.16.1. Only "cfgmaker"
program is copied from version 2.15.1. There will be probably bug
only in cfgmaker file.

I will be very happy, if it will works again in future MRTG versions.

Thank you very much.
