Thanks Carlos, that worked!

I did need to make one small change however: I am testing an ethernet
switch between the two machines which only forwards MPLS
frames with label 10000.  This meant that ARPs sent by either machine
were getting dropped.  I fixed this by manually adding an entry to
each machine's arp table.
