I installed vzctl from git.  This seems to solve the problem with the VE
starting and stopping.  However, after the VE is run once, the network
refuses to come up unless I delete the VE's IP address and add it again:


vps1 ~ # vzctl start 106

If I exit the VE and delete/re-add the IP address it starts working
again:

vps1 ~ # vzctl set 106 --ipdel all --save

Could this be another problem with upstart?

The five CentOS 5 VE's I setup prior to this work perfectly.
It's also worth noting I'm using 2.6.22 ovz005.
