Yes, I know that the port number is not a solution to your problem. It's only
another bug that the patch fixes. The patch makes more changes in the code of
tracepath. Please apply the patch first and then test it again.
It works for me:

mildew> patch -p1 < ../iputils-20020927-trace_stop.patch
patching file tracepath.c
...
mildew> ./tracepath 24.221.130.104
...

I think the root cause is not in tracepaht but in the reply from 24.221.130.104
(it sends "host unreachable" instead of "connection refused")
btw. traceroute has the same problem with this machine.
