problem solved
There is high potential for me to get beaten up in this forum for what silly mistake i did, which was causing all the problem. But I know several people have looked in through this thread spending significant time in providing me the solution, and this is something I do not take it for granted.

This is what was causing the problem:

int StartPipe(iosockinet &s, char input_to_program_b[])
{
int fd1[2];
int fd2[2];
pid_t pid;
char line[MAXLINE];


I did not initialise the above char array to null;

char line[MAXLINE] = {0}; solved the problem.

Thank you so much guys, I learnt a lot from the information you guys provided me with.
