[c-nsp] "extendable, incomplete" NAT entries

Hi all,

We are observing strange problem regarding NAT. Two of our boxes (Cisco 7201) with NAT enabled 
create "extendable, incomplete" NAT entries, like this:

--- 172.16.100.10         192.168.20.20        ---                   ---
     create 18:00:36, use 00:00:29 timeout:86400000, left 23:59:30, Map-Id(In): 32,
     flags:
extendable, incomplete, use_count: 7, entry-id: 2949, lc_entries: 0

Main problem is that with such entries present in the NAT table, inside host is reachable from the 
outside by global address, and this is obvious security flaw. We had 15.1(4)M4 on this boxes, then 
changed it to 15.2(4)M8, but without success, entries are still appearing from time to time. NAT 
configuration is really simple: dynamic translations with pools, route-maps and access-lists.

Thanks in advance
