I went ahead and threw away my existing database, and created a new one.
The new one got updated with 0's again for a couple of weeks, and then
on 10/11/03 it started recording new data again.

This appears to be a bug in rrdtool.  Maybe I can fold the data from
this rrd into another rrd that appears to be working.  The two have
basically the same create statements with the only real difference is
that the one that I'm having problems with has only 1 data source.
