ipfilter/ipnat 3.4.35 and udp-traceroute problem

Hello,

Can anobody here confirm that newest 3.4.35 IPFilter in RELENG_4 works with
no problems when IPNATing traceroute UDP (+ICMP response) packets?

I can see weird behavior of this command:
	traceroute -s privateIP -P UDP dst
Outgoing UDP packets are translated, ICMP time-exceded message comes back,
but traceroute shows '* * *'. ;)

Commands:
	traceroute -s privateIP -P ICMP dst
and
	traceroute -s privateIP -P TCP dst
are working OK.

UDP protocol is _not_ filtered.
Also `traceroute -s publicIP -P UDP dst' works just fine. State table was
flushed and has low number of mappings:
mapped  in      167718594       out     162841788
added   4480473 expired 4466531
no memory       0       bad nat 375052		<- hm
inuse   2259					<=
rules   38
wilds   0

Mapping rules (for this uplink and this privateIP) are quite common:
map rl0 privateIP/20 -> publicIP/32 proxy port ftp ftp/tcp
map rl0 privateIP/20 -> publicIP/32 portmap tcp/udp auto
map rl0 privateIP/20 -> publicIP/32
(/20 is big, but network is smaller, don't be scared).
This ruleset was used for months with no problems. Kernel is almost GENERIC.


Another interesting thing:
% ipf -V
ipf: IP Filter: v3.4.31 (336)	<=
Kernel: IP Filter: v3.4.35
[...]
% grep -i ver /usr/src/contrib/ipfilter/ipl.h
#define IPL_VERSION     "IP Filter: v3.4.31"

Newer ipl.h sits happily in vendor branch.
