Hi All,
         Have created a RRD and am finding that rrdtool xport and fetch gives me the rows at different step value as shown below.
Can someone explain why it should be different ?

RRDTOOL version:1.4.5

Output of rrdtool info yr.rrd: (note , its created with step as 3 secs , to have pdp's of 3secs apart for 3 months  and  pdp daily apart for 1 yr)
