Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 and Optware-NG - no pyload after installation

[Huberer]

Hello,

after the problem with nano could be solved (find the problem and answer here) there is another new issue I found out.
I've installed pyload according to the how-to at hqt.ro (again via optware-ng on my Asus RT-AC68U, I've only changed the language and the port of the web-if) and I made the same settings it did before with John's fork and it worked perfect with this fork, but with the latest Merlin build pyload doesn't start or I can't connect to the pyload web interface.
I've tried to manually start and restart with

/opt/etc/init.d/S98Pyload restart

I got this message in terminal:

Stopping PyLoad
No pyLoad running.
Starting PyLoad
Daemon PID 1076

Unfortunately I can't access to pyload web-if.
When I check with 'top' pyload doesn't show up (look at the attached screen shot)

Again, the same (pyload)settings with the latest John's fork I had no issues but with Merlin's build I don't have access to the web-if. I've checked if made a mistake with the wrong Port of the web-if, but I've entered it correct.

How can I resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance

Edit: I'm using a 2048MB swap file on my external drive. After stopping pyload, stopping and starting the swapfile, and starting pyload again, it was the same result. No connection to pyload.
