I can say from direct experience that SunOS 3.5 systems will abort ALL
connections to/from a remote system if the local system receives a
"host unreachable" message for the remote host.  We've fixed this by
turning off the ICMP unreachables in a few of our routers, and everything
(including traceroute) seems to work just fine.
