OK, since we're comparing traceroute results... :-)

This one's from a FreeBSD 3.x system.  I cut out the hops before
UUNET:

traceroute to 205.229.56.205 (205.229.56.205): 1-30 hops, 38 byte packets

So from that machine, I get a nice, clean "Administratively Prohibited"
return at the machine's IP address.

The variations make it kind of hard to know what's actually happening.

I wonder if we're seeing differences in what kind of ICMP replies are
actually making it back to traceroute.
