   The bug is actually in your system header files, for not specifying

+DEBUGGING VERSION
+
+If you run configure with --enable-debug, a debugging version will be
+built.  This will look in the current directory (the build directory)
+for the base of various things, including the IPC area (which you must
+therefore construct yourself).  The debugging version will produce
+extra output at various points.  It will not attempt to call
+setgroups(), instead just checking that the groups list is right, so
+it will work non-setuid if the daemon is invoked as the service user.
+The daemon won't fork for each request; instead, it will handle a
+single request and exit.
+
+There may be other changes.  Consult the code for details.  Making the
+debugging version of the client or daemon setuid root is probably a
+bad idea.  They may not work if they are run as different users.
