Comment # 2 on bug 989176 from Axel K�llhofer

I could reproduce the problem on openSUSE Leap 42.1.

The only additional thing I tried was to set

FW_USE_IPTABLES_BATCH="no"

in order to see if (by some stroke of luck) only the batch processing of
iptables might be affected.

Unfortunately, that only changed the process hanging from "iptables-batch" to
"iptables" (no surprises there).

The respective iptables/iptables-batch process is completely stuck and can not
be killed even with "kill -5" or "kill -9".

P.S. Changed "Product" and "Version" to 42.1.
