 That was the first thing I suspected and I have since modified the overflow 
mechanism in my development version to just ignore samples when the overflow 
happens. After instrumentation it showed that the data in /proc/net/dev was 
bogus. This is due to this:

Happens only on 64-bit systems. Now, my fix kills the generation of the spikes, 
but my RRD database is now tainted for another 12 month.
