Check out the book "Building Internet Firewalls" by Zwicky, Cooper & 
Chapman from O'Reilly.  It describes ICMP types and how to filter and 
deal with them.  It also covers most of the other protocols you're 
likely to encounter as a firewall administrator.

Blocking ICMP type 3 will break Path-MTU discovery (which relies on
type 3 code 4).
