openNDS - Segfault When Running as a Service on OpenWrt 24.10 (x86)

Installing and Using OpenWrt

I'm experiencing a segmentation fault when running openNDS 10.3.0 as a service on OpenWrt 24.10 (x86, squashfs). However, when I run it manually using /usr/bin/opennds -f, it starts and works without issues.

Error Log (when running as a service):

When Running Manually (/usr/bin/opennds -f):

It seems like there's an issue when openNDS runs as a service but not when executed manually. Any ideas on how to fix this?

As a temporary workaround, I added the following command to /etc/rc.local to start openNDS inside a screen session:

screen -dmS opennds /usr/bin/opennds -f

This allows openNDS to run at startup without crashing, but it's not an ideal solution. However, I would prefer a proper solution to fix the issue when running openNDS as a service. Any suggestions?
