[rrd-users] Core dump on large step sizes

I'm getting a core dump with rrdtool 1.2.19 when graphing data with
large step sizes (1 year). Here's the commands to reproduce it:

rrdtool create myrrdfile.rrd --step 31536000 \
DS:money:GAUGE:63072000:U:U \
RRA:MAX:0.5:1:5000

rrdtool update myrrdfile.rrd 1311653013:100000

rrdtool graph mygraph.png --end 1369419413 --start 1211653003 \
DEF:draw1=myrrdfile.rrd:money:MAX "AREA:draw1#0000FF:Example"

Stacktrace:

======= Backtrace: =========
/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6[0xb7d70d65]

/usr/bin/rrdtool(main+0x3d)[0x8048401]

Is this something that has been fixed in later versions?

Hi Mike,

you have setup an rrd file covering the next 5000 years ...
this may be triggering all sorts of interseting overflows ...

it me be that this particular problem is fixed in a later 1.2.x
release, but in general you can not relie on sensible behaviour
from rrdtool for times outside the 32bit unix time range ...

in 1.4.x I will address this problem together with the update of
the database format ...

cheers
