I didn't manage to verify/reproduce the issue on my own yet, but a
customer of mine might be also affect by this. I prepared an
according MR:

Leon, I'd appreciate if you could verify that this indeed fixes your
problem as expected. Pre-liminary Debian packages for amd64 are
available for now at:

  https://people.debian.org/~mika/open-iscsi/

I'll also try to get this verified at my customer, once we know that
it's working as expected we should also push this change towards
trixie.
