This is a build system bug -- monotone's trying to show you a nice
error message, but unfortunately there's some C code between you and
the error message, and in 0.22 that C code isn't compiled in such a
way that it can handle exceptions thrown through it.

If you build mainline, it should be much clearer what's actually going
on.

That said, I'm not sure _why_ that operation would be giving any sort
of error...
