There was an extensive discussion on this in the past week, this is
apparently expected behavior after applying the patch and resolves a port
randomization vulnerabilty. It does cause some issue with ZoneAlarm for
which ZoneAlarm has released an upgrade for, see:

Cheers. I knew about the potential issue with ZoneAlarm and about the flaw
that the patch addresses (much coverage around the industry), but I didn't
realize what the effect was going to look like. If this is normal and
expected behavior that is all I need to know. Thanks for getting back to me
so quickly!
