Re: [hobbit] rrd "illegal attempt to update using time" error

["Sebastian" <spa (at) syntec.co.uk>]

I also have this problem and the result of it is some rather large log
files:
-rw-rw-r--  1 hobbit hobbit 356M Mar 20 12:46 rrd-data.log
-rw-rw-r--  1 hobbit hobbit 3.5G Mar 20 12:46 rrd-status.log

This happens on hobbit 4.2.0 (unpatched) and the latest snapshot of 4.3.0.

Kind regards,

Sebastian
