I've seen your problem with pg and I had a similar problem. In fact pg
wants to reopen stdout, but on UNIX with real AT&T-UNIX (not Berkley)
this would not work in certain reasons.
If you're diconnecting the calling process from the controlling tty
the pg will present this nice message and stop work. Normally the controlling
tty will be changed, if you use the library command setpgrp().
I hope that will help you.

Bye Rolf.
