Yes, I have posted a thread on the RRD forum (though I'm not doing a full
cross-posting).  I haven't gotten any responses back yet, and besides I'm
not convinced it is a problem with RRD (or for that matter, Hobbit).

My main reason for updating this thread in the hobbit list is because much
of it is Hobbit related (even if Hobbit itself isn't the cause).

Heheh, since I seem to be the only one with this problem so far (or at
least, the only one to post about it), I'm doing most of the responding to
my own thread.  Oh well, I've learned quite a bit about how Hobbit and RRD
both work.

This is certainly a good challenge, since so many factors are involved in
this problem.  Unfortunately for me, we have people here that might try to
represent this problem as a reason to get off Hobbit and use an inferior
pay-ware monitoring solution.  Thankfully I figured out a work-around, so
I'm hoping that will buy me enough time to finally figure this one out.

...And hopefully in the mean time, I don't cause too much irrelevant noise
on this mailing list, responding to my own problem ;-)
