Yes, indeed. You must know that php4-rrdtool doesn't parse given arguments
but pass it to librrd2, which is part of rrdtool. If you look into
/usr/share/doc/rrdtool/NEWS.gz you can find:
Incompatibilities
-----------------
* Colons in COMMENT arguments to rrdtool graph must be escaped with a backslash
* the --alt-y-mrtg option is gone or rather since 1.2.7 it is back but
without functionality.
So, it could be said: it's not a bug, it's a feature. You shall adjust
your scripts to new librrd2 behavior.
Note to mdz and doko: could you, please, include NEWS.gz file also in
librrd2 and, perhaps, librrd2-dev packages?
Regards
Artur
