Oooh.. I hadn't spotted that.  Thanks, it will be extremely helpful.

I think this would happen anyway, wouldn't it?  According to the  
docs, new rows are always added as old data... so if I were to double  
the number of rows, the RRA would just go back twice as far in the  
past, and the new stuff should be untouched.  Shouldn't it?
