| 
| 
| The first two lines of my /etc/hosts.allow are as follows:
| 
| ALL : PARANOID : RFC931 20 : deny
| ALL : general.URZ.Uni-Magdeburg.DE 141.44.2.1 : deny

These have nothing to do with icmp restrictions, use firewall rules
to limit icmp: 'man 8 ipfw'

| 
| As I understand it that should not happen as the above deny rule
| doesn't allow *any* access from this general machine. My machine is
| -stable as of early June:

Wrong, it restricts access to for example inetd based services.
For more info: 'man 5 hosts_options'
