[rrd-developers] [PATCH] docs: fix typo in rrdgraph manpage; Spell out RPN for clarity

[Tobias Oetiker]

Hi Bernhard,

Newlines in lables is not supported. Makeing this work well would
require to rework the whole layout mechanism for the graph since at
the moment the sizeing fortext bits does not take into
consideration that they could grow vertically.

thanks for the doc patch!
