I tried decreasing the end time to a value less than the last_update but
that did not help. :(

Nope, no difference. :/ One of my co-workers (who is a kernel hacker type)
looked at the truss output and said that the brk() calls are Solaris
system calls to allocate memory.  Perhaps RRDtool is encountering data
somewhere in the RRD that is corrupted and causes this excessive memory
allocation?  I'm going to patch rrd_graph to print all DS values as it
reads them from the RRD and see if I can catch a problem right before the
lock-up.
