I just set up my first Arma3 server following this guide:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Dedicated_Server#Instructions_.28Linux_o.2Fs.29
I get the exact same behavior as you do and i'm looking for a solution.
My Server is a virtual machine running 32bit Debian 8.8 with kernel 3.2.41.
I tried starting it directly in an ssh session and with screen. Both fail.
Greetings
