A user got bitten by using a vname which could not be used in RPN. The manual pages warn for this, but apparently nobody noticed the problem when the user asked for help. I admit that I did not immediately spot it and needed to do some debugging before being able to solve the problem. (see the rrd-users mailing list) Maybe rrdtool should refuse to use, or at least warn about, vnames which are also existing operators in RPN? cheers, Alex P.S. No, I cannot send a patch due to circumstances.
