I took the liberty of answering in danish, and the suggested solution
works ok... mine is almost identical except that i suggested to make the 
calls in a script like

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/mrtg
./mrtg ./park1.conf >> park1.log 2>&1 &
./mrtg ./park2.conf >> park2.log 2>&1 &
  :
  :

The problem was that the mrtg was running some ping probes, which took
6-7 minutes, and in the meantime cron started a new round of mrtg, which
fucked up the total system..
