Doc Text:	Calling the "service iptables stop" command causes the iptables init script to unload the netfilter modules. Because a clean-up code path was not taken, an endless loop occurred, which resulted in the init script becoming unresponsive. This update ensures that the clean-up code path is correctly taken, with the result that stopping the iptables service now works as expected.
