zram-config terminates with status 2. zram swaps not enabled

[turbooster]

dmesg says:
init: zram-config pre-start process (1047) terminated with status 2

sudo service zram-config start works though.

the whole dmesg reads:
[ 5.381143] zram: num_devices not specified. Using default: 1
[ 5.381145] zram: Creating 1 devices ...
...
[ 21.605734] Adding 1011288k swap on /dev/zram0. Priority:5 extents:1 across:1011288k SS
[ 21.606373] init: zram-config pre-start process (1047) terminated with status 2

num_devices should get calculated in the upstart script. The size is correct in that it's the same when started manually.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

"sudo start zram-config" works too. ;-)
