issue with vmstat data on RHEL3

I'm still having some problems with Hobbit properly graphing the vmstat
data on my RHEL3 systems. It switches the cpu_idl and cpu_wait values,
even though I believe I have Hobbit configured correctly. I'm using the
8/22/05 snapshot.
I launch the client using:
./runclient.sh --os=rhel3 start
The client data file shows that the client data is reporting the vmstat
values correctly:
[vmstat]
procs memory swap io system
cpu
r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us
sy wa id
1 0 0 535876 201132 1029684 0 0 0 1 1 0 0
0 0 0
0 0 0 534252 201132 1029716 0 0 0 47 117 42 0
0 1 98
But the values stored in the vmstat.rrd file are reversed, which seems
to indicate that hobbitd is still using the "linux" vmstat layout, not
the rhel3.

Where did I go wrong?
