AssertException in process_common.c

[Allen Shaw]

Hello folks,

Our sysadmin recently upgraded the kernel and restarted, after which I
didn't start monit for a couple of weeks until now.  Now, monit fails to
start, citing an AssertException in process_common.c.  Here's the log:

> [CDT Oct 14 10:01:37] Starting monit daemon with http interface at
[*:2812]
> [CDT Oct 14 10:01:37] Starting monit HTTP server at [*:2812]
> [CDT Oct 14 10:01:37] monit HTTP server started
> [CDT Oct 14 10:01:37] AssertException: at process/process_common.c:191
> aborting..

System is Linux 2.6.8.1-RH192.

I'm guessing I will need to debug this with strace or gdb, but can someone
help me with the output and/or other details?  (Alternatively, I could just
be a bonehead and be doing something wrong, but in this case at least it
doesn't seem so.)

Thanks much,
Allen
