Actually, even with the proper max, the spikes can still drown out
the real traffic (1Gbps pipe, traffic in the range of 20-30Mbps).

One solution is to put up a NaN every time the counter rolls around
or is reset.  At least I've found that to be more acceptable than
the other way around...

Wish rrdupdate had an option to put up NaN's (don't do counter
wrap-around calculation) when the counters reset/wrap.
