Change in UI Failure with Merlin 378.56

cpu

Occasional Visitor
After installing 378.56 on my RT-AC3200 I noticed after 3 days 12.5 hours that I could no longer login to it via HTTP. No problems getting into it via SSH and it appeared to be routing traffic with no problems. Is there some way to restart httpd ?

Of course rebooting it resolved the issue. I recently reset the device to factory defaults and upgraded it to 378.56. In this past when I could no longer login via HTTP, I could not login via ssh either and was forced to power cycle the unit, so this is an improvement.

This unit is configured as an internet gateway to a 30mb up/down via a microware. It doesn't seem to matter which of my ASUS routers I put in this location, an RT-AC66, An RT-AC68 or this RT-AC3200. All of them seem to have the same issues after 3-10 days. Setup as AP's they seem to run forever. Using ASUS firmware get's similar results. Of course the RT-AC3200 is so much faster then the rest, especially for access to the storage plugged into the USB3 port.
 
Router runs out of memory after a while due to intense debug logging left in by Asus. The debug log has been removed for the next release.

Not absolutely sure I have the right version as this was marked as a beta as I grabbed it on the 2nd
RT-AC3200_378.56_2.trx
but the Httpd appears to be stuck again after over 7.5 days, it was working last night for sure, about 12 hours ago but not I can not seem to connect to it. No problems getting into ssh and traffic currently looks fine. Trying to open a window to it never seems to time out, it just sits there from firefox and spins.

Anything I can do to give you more information ? No urgency to reboot at this time as it seems to be handling traffic fine, just can't connect via http.
It's a RT-AC3200 connected to a microwave 30mb up/down internet link. It has a 5tb usb3 disk plugged into it and all 4 lan ports are connected. There are two other ASUS routers acting as AP's, a AC66 and an AC68 both running a copy of 378.56_2 from yesterday when I updated them.

you can see httpd is hung with netstat
