This is not reproducible on my system, which is also amd64 sid with
the same versions for all dependent libraries.

Crashing in _start() suggests that some library or executable on the
system is corrupted.   Please install the "debsums" package and run
this command:

# debsums -s monotone libbotan1.8 libc6 libgcc1 libidn11 liblua5.1-0
libpcre3 libsqlite3-0 libstdc++6 zlib1g

If this prints any lines of the form

debsums: checksum mismatch libpcre3 file /usr/lib/libpcreposix.so.3.12.1

then please reinstall the packages named right after "checksum
mismatch" (libpcre3, in the example).  And let us know if that solves
the problem.  You may also want to run a forcible fsck and/or a hard
drive sector read test.

If this advice does *not* solve the problem, then please post the
complete output of this command:

$ LD_DEBUG=files mtn --version

Thanks,
