I'm running inside Docker and it looks like that is the issue.  They way docker
runs apparently isn't compatible with upstart and other services like you'd
expect in a full machine, so Docker evidently nullifies /sbin/initctl  Not sure
the proper way run mongo in docker yet, but at least I have a clue about what
I'm seeing now.
