Richard,

By any chance is your portsnap using a proxy server, possibly squid?

If so this may get around the problem prior to running your portsnap.

# sysctl net.inet.ip.portrange.randomized=0

You may want to check the value first, and reset it after the portsnap.

Maybe something like this in your portsnap script.
