double is only exact up to about 2**52. long double goes till 2**63 (or beyond), but is not available everywhere. The precision issue was not apparent to me. We probably need to forcibly generate integer values for DERIVE and COUNTER in the application that feeds rrdtool. -- Florian Weimer <fwei...@bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
