Yeah, it has to do with resolution, with availability of data, with the best 
match on what you ask, not what you want to ask, but actually do ask.

RRDtool has a choice which RRA to use, and it chooses one you don't like. 
But for some reason that RRA is actually a closer match to what you ask than 
the other which is used in all other cases.

To avoid: determine from which RRA you want the data to be displayed. Set 
your end time to a time which is on a boundary, a whole multiple of 
step*steps, a duration of a CDP.
