When running the following code through xcode I get inconsistent behavior. Sometimes it prints the git version correctly, other times it doesn't print anything. The return code from the shell command is always 0 though. Any ideas on why this might be? What am I doing wrong?

#define BUFFER_SIZE 256 
int main (int argc, const char * argv[])  
{   
    FILE *fpipe;
    char *command="/opt/local/bin/git --version";
    char line[BUFFER_SIZE];

    if ( !(fpipe = (FILE*)popen(command, "r")) )
    {   // If fpipe is NULL
        perror("Problems with pipe");
        exit(1);
    }

    while ( fgets( line, sizeof(char) * BUFFER_SIZE, fpipe))
    {
         // Inconsistent (happens sometimes) 
         printf("READING LINE");
         printf("%s", line);
    }

    int status = pclose(fpipe);

    if (status != 0)
    {
        // Never happens
        printf("Strange error code: %d", status);
    }

    return 0;
}
