I had a similarly mysterious message: "icmplogd: destination unreachable from
localhost". I used a packet sniffer to catch the icmp packet and look at the
tcp Destination port number. Then look in /etc/services and see what service
that port number corresponds to. In my case it corresponded to "biff", which
was fine since I disabled biff in /etc/hosts.deny.
Good luck.
