data is read from the logfile every "some" minutes and entered into the
rrdtool repository, so it's not real time. Interpolation is what I was trying
to avoid since rrdtool doesn't seem do deal too well with bursty data; but
maybe you're right in suggesting I have a rrdtool problem, not an nsd one.
Still, getting the interval boundaries more stable seems a useful goal to me,
even if a (much smaller, though) race condition remains.

Thanks,
