[rrd-developers] dump/restore has issues on win32

[Tobias Oetiker]

Folks,

I just had this exchange with Daniel Dulac on rrd-users. It seems
that either the way the binaries are compiled is giving problems or
there is some issue with the way scanf works on win. I can not
replroduce this on unix ...

any ideas
