[rrd-users] rrdtool graph confusion

So now that I have those small issues cleared up, I have another issue 
that I'm trying to discern.
I've created a graph that show the percent of CPU usage for the user, 
system,nice and idle and since I'm ssh-ing into another linux box to do 
all this idle processes are of the highest percent, around 98.6% but the 
problem I'm having is the area for idle goes above zero?
Here's the code I've written for this graph b
 'AREA:idl#EEFFFF:Idle:STACK',
 'LINE2:1#DDDDDD::STACK', The question I have is when you use STACK does 
that add to the value of the area, because my Average was 98.06% but the 
line was showing up above the 100 mark? I'm trying to get the graph, but 
if anyone has any insight into why this is I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks!!!
