If you use rrdtool, it has a COUNTER type which is for just this kind of
situation. It handles resets to 0 caused by 32bit or 64bit wraparounds,
too.

Otherwise, I guess you might be stuck. You could always rip the code out
of rrdtool which handles the COUNTER type.. it probably wouldn't be too
hard.
