Could you apply this patch to your INN tree, rebuild with the same
configure options and everything, and then use the resulting ctlinnd
binary in ../frontends to try this again?  This should result in a more
informative error message.  (You don't need to install the newly built
binaries or anything; you can run ctlinnd out of the source tree.)
