socket_new() is called from remote_status() by:

 Socket_T sock= socket_new(Run.bind_addr?Run.bind_addr:"localhost", 
Run.httpdport, SOCKET_TCP, Run.httpdssl);

=> in the case that you have not specified which address is monit httpd 
binded to, "monit status" will connect to localhost to obtain status 
from running daemon (where the string "localhost" is static).

Does it fail if you specify monit httpd address in monit configuration 
file, such as:

 set httpd port 2812 and
    use address 127.0.0.1
    allow 127.0.0.1

as well as in the case that you have not specified the interface?:

 set httpd port 2812 and
    allow 127.0.0.1

(Note: in the first case value of Run.bind_addr will be used, in the 
second case "localhost" will be used).
