I'm not sure what was the cause of these crashes, but I looked for a
problem around that piece of code and found one missing check for
an error returned by the RRDtool library that could explain this.
So I'd like some feedback if the problem still occurs, and if it does
whether tomorrows snapshot (generated in a few hours) helps.
