Hmm, why don't you use a more hard-wired approach?
vdr is running in the background
- if the -d option has been specified AND
- the -t option has not been specified.
Otherwise assume that vdr is running in the foreground.

Additionally, tcgetattr() will fail if stdin has been redirected 
to /dev/null (something like "vdr < /dev/null").
