I read news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.rrdtol.user later
and saw how you use rrdtool.

You shouldn't close stderr, but redirect it somewhere, like to a file or
to /dev/null.
Is the command-string in 'buffer' properly terminated with a 0-byte?


Or *maybe*, as an alternative way to restore stderr, leave all that code
as is, but replace the line with "dup2(oldstderr,2);" by:

  close(2);
  dup(oldstderr);
  close(oldsterr);

which I copied from:
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/usr/src/cmd/lp/filter/postscript/postio/ifdef.c

Do a test with "rrdtool graph - 2>/dev/null"
and also test "2>/dev/null rrdtool graph -"


Which shell do you use?
