Patent Claims:	1. Crystalline monohydrate of the compound of formula (IV) ##STR00061## which is characterized by an x-ray powder diffraction pattern substantially in accordance with that shown in FIG. 1. 2. The compound of claim 1, which is characterized by differential scanning calorimetry thermogram and a thermogravimetric anaylsis substantially in accordance with that shown in FIG. 2. 3. Crystalline monohydrate of the compound of formula (IV) ##STR00062## which is characterized by an x-ray powder diffraction pattern (CuK.alpha. .gamma.=1.5418 .ANG. at a temperature of about 23.degree. C.) comprising four or more 2.theta. values selected from the group consisting of: 18.0.+-.0.2, 18.4.+-.0.2, 19.2.+-.0.2, 19.6.+-.0.2, 21.2.+-.0.2, 24.5.+-.0.2, 25.9.+-.0.2, and 28.0.+-.0.2. 4. A solid pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of claim 3 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 5. The compound of claim 3, characterized by unit cell parameters approximately equal to the following: Cell dimensions: a(.ANG.)=13.8632(7); b(.ANG.)=9.3307(3); c(.ANG.)=38.390(2); Volume=4965.9(4) .ANG..sup.3 Space group Pbca Molecules/unit cell 8 Density (calculated) (g/cm.sup.3) 1.354. 6. A process for preparing the compound of claim 3 comprising heating and dissolving the compound of formula (IV) in an ethanol/water mixture and crystallizing the monohydrate from the ethanol/water mixture as it cools. 7. The process of claim 6, wherein a butanol solvate of the compound of formula (IV) is dissolved in the ethanol/water mixture. 8. The compound of claim 3, wherein the compound is substantially pure. 9. The compound of claim 3, the compound being further characterized by a differential scanning calorimetry having a broad peak between approximately 95.degree. C. and 13.degree. C. which corresponds to the loss of one water of hydration on thermogravitmetric analysis. 10.
