I've been beating my head against the wall with a segfault when
running my script against recently created rrdfiles. The same script
will run just fine against a rrd file that is over a year old but
dumps when run against an rrd file that was created recently.

This is on Solaris 8, rrdtool 1.2.15, perl 5.8.3
