I'm running 2.2.5's NAT. Some problem apps I've noticed:
ICQ (if 'always use real ip' is turned on and not using a SOCKS5 proxy.
things like sending files or initiating chats don't always work right)
NetMeeting / PowWow (or many other voice chat apps, like Roger Wilco)
IRC (if an identd request is done)
Quake (if more than 1 user connects to the same server, as the server only
handles 1 client per IP, doesn't apply to QuakeII or (i think) QuakeWorld)

Some natd code may have changed between 2.2.5 and 3.0-Stable to make these
apps behave differently though.
