Sounds like a memory leak you should talk to the developers.

Couldn't you have two entries, one which monitors and restarts and one
which gives you start stop control under a different name?

Or tie in a script. It's easy to do most of what monit does by shell
wrappers, just usually a waste of time and effort. I have a cron entry
which checks monit is running.
