Oh, ok.

This is hard to say. Suse guys probably included many patches, so it
would make sense to try to contact Suse support.

After very very quick look to git, following patches may be related:
559d4083ed8355fe83f275e53b9c8f52a91694b2,
02c5dffa5bb8579c223006fa1587de9ba7409a3d,
64d0e5ace025cc929e42896c5d6beb3ef75b8244,
6fae42ba72006941c1fde99616ea30f4f10ebb38,
c7e686181bcd0e975b09725502bef02c7d0c338a.

But still keep in mind that between latest 1.3.6 (what I believe is more
or less what you are using) and current origin/flatiron are 118 patches...

  Honza
