This Insure program is expressly preventing you from using dup2 to redirect stderr. Perhaps it has its own methods of redirecting logfiles that you're supposed to use instead? Why it thinks memory is corrupted, I don't know, it may be unrelated to the redirection and provoked by code below it you didn't post.

I'm having difficulty understanding the purposes of using dup/dup2 when involving forks.
for example, if we call fork() once, that is, we are creating a child process. In what cases would we need to use dup or dup2 to duplicate the file descriptors for standard output and standard error? What... (1 Reply)

4. UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers
In LINUX(CentOS, RedHat) is there a way to have the banner statement appear before the logon instead of after the logon? In UNIX and Windows the banner appears before a person actually logs on, what I'm seeing in LINUX is that it appears after the login(ftp, telnet, SSH).

dup2(3C) Standard C Library Functions dup2(3C)
NAME
dup2 - duplicate an open file descriptor
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int dup2(int fildes, int fildes2);
DESCRIPTION
The dup2() function causes the file descriptor fildes2 to refer to the same file as fildes. The fildes argument is a file descriptor refer-
ring to an open file, and fildes2 is a non-negative integer less than the current value for the maximum number of open file descriptors
allowed the calling process. See getrlimit(2). If fildes2 already refers to an open file, not fildes, it is closed first. If fildes2
refers to fildes, or if fildes is not a valid open file descriptor, fildes2 will not be closed first.
The dup2() function is equivalent to fcntl(fildes, F_DUP2FD, fildes2).
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion a non-negative integer representing the file descriptor is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set
to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The dup2() function will fail if:
EBADF The fildes argument is not a valid open file descriptor.
EBADF The files2 argument is negative or is not less than the current resource limit returned by getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, ...).
EINTR A signal was caught during the dup2() call.
EMFILE The process has too many open files. See fcntl(2).
