BindGraph was never meant to be called directly from the command line.
It is a CGI, and so it *needs* to be called from Apache (or other
suitable webserver)
Of course, the script itself could be tweaked to "barf" on a more
appropriate way, but I see no reason why a CGI should work if invoked
from command line, without the information it needs to work. Moreover,
how it bindgraph supposed to generate graphs in this situation? Do you
meant to have it echo the generated PNG on stdio? Write that into a
randomly-generated filename? In either case, which of the different
graphs that it is able to generate would be written?

As said before, this is perfectly fine behaviour for a CGI script
invoked directly.
