Cogent IPV6 connectivity to fireball.acr.fi

I should have stated that I tried icmpv6, UDP, and TCP traceroute with
the same results.  Looks like Cogent is not returning TTL expired IPV6
packets within their core.  I can only guess that this is a result of
using 6PE and propagating the IPV6 TTL into MPLS.
