Comment 2 for bug 742579

Some more research:

This seems similar to:
http://<email address hidden>/msg05572.html

And in fact, as I should have noticed from the dump, it is not related to iscsi shutting down, but the daemon starting up without being able to re-connect to the existing targets. This means it will also crash if I start the iscsi daemon independent of any upgrade (confirmed, when doing /etc/init.d/open-iscsi start, I loose root).

Apparently fixed in a later version...
