Ahh, okay.

I hadn't even considered --upper-limit: "man rrdgraph" reads
"the maximum value to be graphed".  Yet if I use "--upper-limit
1.0" the "maximum value" graphed appears to be the value of the
data point with the largest value.  (In other words, the graph
autoscales from 0 to N for N > 1 instead of 0 to N for N > 0.)

To a native english speaker it seems that "--upper-limit" is not
the upper limit but rather the "--minimum-upper-limit".  Yuck.
Me thinks english really sucks compared to perl.
