Thank you for report. New version was just added to the tree. Fixed.

Upgrading to 2.16.4 on my amd64 server resolved this issue for me. So far, it is stable with regards to checking all 12 of my Gentoo servers and generating the expected reports.

how about marking this version stable ?
perl is stable, so mrtg is not working any more
