Another possibility, that sounds more likely, is OpenSUSE added a patch 
to the rpm installed on 30.11.2020.

There was a recursion DoS protection commit in 1.14.0 - if it wasn't 
backported properly, it could lead to the behavior you are describing: 
the DoS protection kicks in and stays on.  That would also be in the 
part of the code you are seeing the problem in.

Let me see if I can dig up the OpenSUSE src rpm and see what's in it.
