This is the only message

This is not the case, monit is not trying to restart the service, it is entering a tight loop trying to read the PID file, as I stated. All of my monit configs have the number of restarts limited.

Obviously, but that does not change the fact that this bug exists in monit. Monit should fail gracefully, handling an empty PID file the same way it would handle a non-existent PID file.
