I do not agree, data displayed are the same :), but there is bug in 
rounding/scaling data to fit the max allowed graph heigth. So data displayed 
are correct, as you can see from labels below graph - minima and maxima are 
the same, y label is incorrectly computed. But yes, from outer perspective it 
looks as bad data.

Well, this is certainly not normal and should be fixed. Initially I wrote it 
as a quick hack to be able to generate mrtg-like graphs, so my web pages 
would look more uniformly even with mixture of mrtg-generated and rrd-based 
graph, but I was not that succesfull implementing it. Unfortunatelly, I have 
only near to no time now to deal with this issue, just if you would like, we 
could discuss it a bit more, maybe some solution could be found.
