Hi Mando!

I suspect there is a file in your workspace which has a name that
monotone considers invalid because it is invalid on some platforms, like
f.e. "a\b". The next version of monotone should catch this problem
better and echo a reasonable warning message. Could you test if a recent
version of monotone fixes your problem? You should probably get an
output similar to

mtn: warning: skipping invalid path 'a\b'

then instead of the crash.

Thanks in advance,
Thomas.
