Why this syntax error in control file? |

I've installed monit 4.8.1 on a Debian system, from the repository. I
cannot start the daemon, though, because of a reported syntax error in
the control file, which doesn't make any sense to me. I get the
following error:
/etc/monit/monitrc:20: Error: syntax error 'start'
The line in question is this:
set daemon 60 with start delay 240
To my eye, that is perfectly valid syntax according to the
documentation. So what could the problem be? I have uninstalled and
reinstalled monit and the problem remains. The strangest thing is that
monit has in the past run perfectly well with this exact same control
file. I am at a loss to know what the problem now might be, and nay help
would be much appreciated.
