[rrd-developers] little rrd v1.0.7 bugs

Heyho,

Fwiw, details re three RRDtool buglets follow:


1) "rrdtool fetch" of very large values can give output that's
not easily parsable:

 bash% rrdtool fetch Sample.rrd AVERAGE -s 937096800 -e 937096805
                 input    output
 
  937096800:      3.413795685.33
  937097100:       NaN       NaN

What's the value for input at 937096800??  (I'm pretty sure it's
3795685.33.)


2) "rrdtool update" with "-t" that has non-existent DS dumps core
in libc.so.6 under RedHat 5.0 (linux 2.0.32 with glibc-2.0.6):

 bash% rrdtool update Sample.rrd -t input:output:no_such_ds 936993926:1:2:3
 ERROR: unknown data source name 'no_such_ds'
 Segmentation fault (core dumped)
 bash% gdb /usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.7/bin/rrdtool core

 #5  0x80492ee in main (argc=6, argv=0xbffffc80) at rrd_tool.c:159


3) ambiguous "rrdtool update" with -t that has duplicate DSs
should not be allowed:

 bash% rrdtool update MadisonSD -t input:input 936993926:123:456
 bash% echo $?
 0

Which value as inserted for the DS input at 936993926??  (The 
answer is 456.)
