It is strange that this solves the problem:

-       if((s= create_socket(host, port, proto, NET_TIMEOUT)) != -1)
+       if((s= create_socket((char *) &host, port, proto, NET_TIMEOUT)) != -1)

The problem is more likely on other place (either in monit or Mac).

This can solve many portability issues with each new monit version. I 
think monit could be interesting for big companies and to provide access 
to its platform (such as Mac) could be cheap solution for them and good 
for their platform's users.
