Kevin's right. The perl process stopped running (evidently at a high traffic time on the firewall) on the Linux box I've got MRTG running on over a weekend. I got a steady high traffic flat line over a weekend during which time use is usually low. Scratched my head on that one for a little while until I decided to stop and restart the daemon, did a ps to find the process ID to kill it and discovered it wasn't even running. It appeared to continue to populate with the last good number it got from the firewall. As soon as I restarted it all was well in mrtg-land again.
