This is a common symptom of libc version mismatches.  You probably
will need to either upgrade your libc, or compile monotone locally
(recommended).

(Wish I could give more details, but libc, while supposedly always
binary compatible between versions, for some reason sometimes breaks
mysteriously when it comes to host resolution, and they've set things
up so the normal version consistency checking stuff doesn't notice...
I don't really understand how one is supposed to deal with this.)
