ICMP Weirdness (old bug resurfaced?)

I keep getting these messages all the time in my logs whenever I do
operations like ftp/telnet/browsing/email.

Apr 30 23:36:37 tahallah icmplogd[53]: icmp_dest_unreach (code
icmp_port_unreach), from localhost
..
lots =)
..

What does this means? And what usually is the cause of this problem? Any
clues or answers would be most helpful.

I've done a search for this problem in AltaVista and one of the
possibilities mentioned was that there was a bug like this in 2.1.32.
