I've never seen any timestamp issues updating 75,000+ rrd files every 5
minutes for the past 5 years. It seems more likely to me that you're
going down a wrong path. What makes you think it's a timestamp issue?
Are you updating with the correct number of DS's that the rrd file is
expecting? That's always been the issue for me when I have NANs. Have
you run the collector in debug mode/checked the logs for specific errors
from cricket/rrdtool?
