If it doesn't, something may be wrong. Perhaps your OS will print -"NaN" in a different form. "NaN" stands for "Not A Number". If your OS -writes "U" or "UNKN" or something similar that's okay.

Note that you might get more rows than you expect. The reason for this is +that you ask for a time range that ends on 920809200. The number that is +written behind 920809200: in the list above covers the time range from +920808900 to 920809200, EXCLUDING 920809200. Hence to be on the sure side, +you receive the entry from 920809200 to 920809500 as well since it INCLUDES +920809200.
