This is one of the things the thread-safety stuff tries to solve as well. 
Thus you might want to use the 1.1 development tree. There the trick is 
to use rrd_create_r and rrd_update_r. These functions bypass getopt. You 
only have to call rrd_clear_error before you call any of the *_r 
functions. I _think_ you do not even need the entire thread-safety stuff 
(ie. linking with librrd_th and libpthread) and it should work with librrd 
as well.
