You were right, I think. It now runs nice. Next problem is that after
my_new_pipe = popen(command->str,"w");, for some reason, the application
under command->str stops (it gives an error and quits). Probably a minor
mistake or something in the program, I'll find out, the data under
my_new_pipe is not NULL so I guess it´s okay. Thanks for all your help.
