Yes but it accepted two MAC addresses before the reboot [until it
stopped working] and it is working fine with two MAC addresses after the
reboot -- it is only new that I have added them as static MAC addresses
in the MAC address table of the switch.  The Xen config for the VM has
always had the same MAC address, statically assigned in the .cfg file.
