I have added the test to configure.ac - i hope it will work for Darwin 
(i cannot test it)

I can't test it - if you can deliver patch, we can add it to the 
distribution.

I'll look on it (if you will assist :) I saw backtrace, etc. which you 
send in the past - we must find the exact place where it failed. In the 
case that it will be possible to fix it in monit (i hope so), we can 
include the patch to the nearest release after 4.0.
