Boost bug?

The below assumes Boost 5.1 (the latest that I can find)

I'm hoping someone can confirm whether or not I'm hitting a bug with Cacti
and/or Boost. Basically, when Boost creates an RRD file it does not do so
in the same manner as the Data Source debug output, and the resulting RRD
file does not contain correct maximum values for traffic_in & traffic_out.

I posted this thread on the forum (more context, screenshots, and examples):
http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=50420&p=242799#p242799

Here's an example of the traffic_in & traffic_out max values after Boost
runs, and an RRD file is populated with the data from the MEMORY database:

$ rrdtool info /usr/local/cacti-0.8.8a/rra/57/3407.rrd | grep -i max
ds[traffic_in].max = NaN
ds[traffic_out].max = NaN

When I disable Boost, and re-create the same graph, the RRD file is created
properly:
$ rrdtool info 5175.rrd | grep max
ds[traffic_in].max = 1.0000000000e+10
ds[traffic_out].max = 1.0000000000e+10

Please let me know if I've overlooked something, or if this is a known
limitation. I've run Boost in the past, on a different installation, but
haven't ever run into this problem. I'll add that these are 10GE interfaces
(ifHighSpeed), and the 5.1 changelog lists "feature: Support for
ifHighSpeed."

Thanks,
