I'm not sure this entirely accounts for it; I was just looking at a
similar issue yesterday, which I haven't found the reason for yet.  

In the case I was looking at, if I picked a *narrower* time window
(making sure it was aligned exactly on the width of the MAX RRA, 2
hours) and queried for the MAX, I got a large MAX value (94.5%.) If I
picked a wider time window which was a strict superset (included) of
the narrower time window, but which is not necessarily aligned on the
width of the MAX RRA, and queried the same DSes on the same data file,
I got a totally different, and much lower MAX value.

If it makes a difference, I'm using a Perl script which calls rrdgraph
using the GPRINT function to get out the data.

Would you expect this result?
