[rrd-developers] Occasional core dumps

I've been getting occasional core dumps when doing graphs, not often
but often enough to try and trace it.

I found in data_proc that the array element used in 
im->gdes[vidx].data[<calculation>] was not being calculated properly all 
the time.  Why I have no idea, 'cos if I do the index calculation prior
it's usage in the element it works fine

gr_time   995368117   
vidx     1            
start    995367900    
step     300          
step + 1 301          
ds_cnt   1            
ds       0            
calc     1088356720

So I've changed

 value = 
im->gdes[vidx].data[                                                
             ((unsigned long)floor((double)                              
                          (gr_time - im->gdes[vidx].start )              
                          / im->gdes[vidx].step)+1)                      
                                                                         
             /* added one because data was not being aligned properly    
                this fixes it. We may also be having a problem in fetch
. 
	     */
             *im->gdes[vidx].ds_cnt                                      
             +im->gdes[vidx].ds];                                        

to
	int idx=0;

	idx=((unsigned long)floor((double)                              
                          (gr_time - im->gdes[vidx].start )              
                          / im->gdes[vidx].step)+1)                      
             *im->gdes[vidx].ds_cnt                                      
             +im->gdes[vidx].ds;                                        

	 value = im->gdes[vidx].data[idx];


Anybody shed any light on this??  What am I missing??


BTW I'm on Solaris 7 and gcc-2.95 and rrdtool-1.0.33
