The only thing I can think of is that I am using the +no_x11 keyword, which affected gd, which mrtg does use.

wow, that looks bad. Sorry.

Funny story: I was researching this error that MRTG was giving me:

2014-10-10 21:40:00: ERROR: Skipping webupdates because rateup did not return anything sensible 2014-10-10 21:40:00: WARNING: rateup died from Signal 11

with Exit Value 0 when doing router '10.0.3.1_gec0' Signal was 11, Returncode was 0

Go to Google, find this bug report, from three years ago... from me.

MRTG's version is currently 2.17.4. Can the version be bumped up, please?

I started having this problem with 2.17.4 (and 10.12). I think rateup was only crashing on something with kMG[name]: ,k,M,G in the config. Crash log showed crash on free in rateup (image()). Removing kMG in my config fixed it for me.

This is probably something that should be reported and fixed upstream.

A fix was merged upstream but there's been no new release yet.
