Subject:   natd woes with 4.7-RELEASE-p2

I am running 4.7 on a firewall, with an extremely simple nat
setup -- not all packets are passed through nat, as some services
such as ntp and dnswall are handled on the firewall -- but
for those packets that are nat'd, there are only static (redirect_address)
rules.

What happens is that, over time, natd starts to use more cycles and
memory, even without any network traffic through the box.  When the
latency to outside increases by about 4x, I kill and restart natd,
and all works fine.  This isn't ideal, however.

Any suggestions?  contents of my natd config follow.
