Hi Fabian,
I've just tested it in master branch and could reproduce it. It seems the
kamctl command misses a variable inclusion in the start cmd. Not sure why it
worked in 1.5 and earlier, did not tried it.
Can you please try the attached patch for the kamctl in your checkout? If you
don't want to compile and install again, you could also do the changes in the
installed version manually.
Best regards,
Henning
