Re: AssertException: at xmalloc.c:110 aborting..

Thanks Martin!

Sorry about the wait. I had to move ahead with a work around, but intend to 
re-build monit with the patch shortly. I think the important thing is you 
already seem to know about the issue and have a work around. (presumably for 
a future monit release)

Thanks for all the great effort.
