The variables are set to '0'

Yes, even I suspect that. I am not using any established library. I
have written my own AGI.
I get the error "utils.c: write() returned error: Broken pipe" when
the AGI is called. In many forums and mailing-lists I read that this
message can be safely ignored. Till now, I used to ignore this message
as the AGI seemed to worked without any problem, it was only 2 days
ago that I realized that there are a few calls being dropped. Now I
have made some changes to the AGI and the error message has gone away.
I will monitor it for a day to check if the problem happens again
