Disclaimer: I do know Python, but am not terribly familiar with Matplotlib as 
I'm taking over the maintenance of our graphing libraries.  This post is 
likely to leave out details that you need to help diagnose the problem, but I 
didn't think posting all 1500 or so lines of our graphing routines would be 
that helpful at this point. :)

As you can see from the attached graph, there is a break the in graph 
somewhere around 7 AM or so.  This is the data I am graphing for that red 
line:

If I change the -0.006 at 6:00AM to 0.006, it graphs with no break in the 
line.  This is not a big deal to me, but it is a big deal to the consumer of 
these graphs.  Could this be a bug in matplotlib, or is it more likely a bug 
in what we're doing with the data (almost nothing) before it gets to the 
matplotlib graphing routines?

Thanks for any insight you can give.
