Please create a script that emulates your setup but with much smaller
rrd files.  It should:
- create a (small) database
- update it with some values, at least one of them being such a big
  number that it demonstrates the bug
- fetches rates, showing that NaN is indeed in the data

Then post it here so others can verify your findings.
