[rrd-users] dump/restore creates non-identical files with rrdtool-1.4

[Mike Schilli]

Another (obscure) change: If you dump a rrd file and then restore it,
with rrdtool 1.4, the new file will be no longer identical with the
dumped database. The difference is just a couple of null bytes, so
probably nothing to worry about, just another test case that was
triggered (foo=original foo1=restored):

*** foo.hex     2010-02-21 22:55:18.000000000 -0800
--- foo1.hex    2010-02-21 22:55:22.000000000 -0800
