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
