I think there is only one explanation for this, monit must have
aborted (dumped core) when you did a reload which may (or may not)
explain the other strange monit processes you can see via ps.

The problem is, I cannot reproduce this on my Linux box, reload works
fine (also by stress testing, doing a wakeup and then reload, e.g.:
monit && monit reload). Can others reproduce problem this on Solaris?

A couple of things have changed in the CVS and you may want to do a
cvs update and try again. If the problem remains, it would be very
interesting if you could do a strace on monit and post the log file
(only the relevant parts, it's going to be long :) so we hopefully can
see what the problem is. If you get a core file, it could be
interesting for us to do a post-mortem debug using the core file as
well.
