This problem "might" (I'm really not sure) be due to the fact that you 
try to daemonize a process which is not written as a daemon, 
especially wrt standard IO streams. 

IIRC, daemons have to 'cd /' then close their standard input, output,
and error, then fork and let the parent die. Something like that,
it was a long time ago...

Ah, but there is sample code at :

This process, to the best of my knowledge, is not limited to Linux, 
although small changes may be needed.
