Are these problems for mport < 61000 or with any masqueraded
port? There is a known problem with mport < 61000. This includes
connections created from portfw, mfw and autofw masq modules not
to receive some ICMP messages in the internal host. What is your case?

If you explain your problem I can send you a test patch for the
Path MTU discovery problem.

There are no related changes in 2.2.15. They fix other
MASQ problems.
