The call to write_RRA_row() is probably being optimized out.  However, we
may be able to get the info we need now that the symbols are available.

Try this:

  (gdb) select 4
  (gdb) p *rrd
  (gdb) p rra_idx
  (gdb) p rrd->rra_def[rrd_idx]
  (gdb) p rrd->rra_def[rrd_idx].cf_nam
  (gdb) p rrd->rra_def[rra_idx].pdp_cnt
  (gdb) p ds_idx
  (gdb) p rrd->ds_def[ds_idx].ds_nam

Also, I have a few other questions:

- is it always the same RRD file that causes the crash?
- does that RRD cause the crash every time?

- do you have any similar files (i.e. same RRA and DS definitions) that
  do not cause crash?
