I've dug into the RRDtool docs, and it *should* be possible to work
around this in Hobbit, by passing an extra option to the rrd_update
routine telling it what data is being provided in what sequence, and
have it figure out how to shuffle things around.

It just doesn't work ... 

Whether that's due to my testing with RRDtool 1.2.x or a bug in my code
remains to be determined.

Well, it wasn't high on my list either, so I'm not complaining :-)
