In this case I was using the RedHat's idiotic 2.96 release for RH 7.3
for building monit. (I normally use (GCC) 3.2.1). But this problem is
almost certainly not a compiler issue.

That's a fair thing to do. BTW, how long do you have to wait before
monit can bind the server socket again after you do a skill -9 monit?
If the wait is in seconds, the best thing to do, I agree, is to just
exit, but if it's short it may be worth looping a few times in
engine.c:start_httpd ala (a draft, not tested, and I'm not sure about
the error code):

  do {
     myServerSocket= create_server_socket(port, backlog, bindAddr);
  } while(myServerSocket < 0 && errno == EADDRINUSE && maxtries-- > 0);
