Inbetween (1) and (2), time will move forward.

If 't' is T modulo R, time _could_ go from (t+n) to (t) and you will
be looking at the wrong interval.  This won't happen often however it
is possible and it is something to take care of.

Do you mean fetch where you write report, or do I need to brush up
on my rrdtool knowledge?
