[rrd-developers] Discuss regarding Ticket 263

[Tobi Oetiker]

Hi Jean-Edouard,

well I guess at the heart of the problem is that we are allowing
'raw' strftime here and thus make rrdtool input system dependent
which is not good anyway ... grmpf.

so I guess you patch is about as good as we can get :-(

cheers
