Thanks to everyone who had suggestions and recommendations...

I eventually got to the root of the problem: I had my kernel
configured with ebtables support.  At one point, when I was
experimenting with ebtables, I put both ethernet interfaces
(eth0 and eth1) into a bridge group.  That worked well, but
I forgot that I had set up inittab to do this automatically.

Ironic, as I did this so I wouldn't have to remember to keep
recreating the bridge group manually after a system reboot...
at least the "not remembering about it" part of the plan worked,
at least for a few days :-)

After deleting the bridge group, I was able to properly
configure both interfaces and send/receive traffic on them as
well.
