What's your CAM profile set to?  Or, if you don't have one, do you have 
any MPLS stuff specified as system-max?  NetIron does, uh, "bad things" 
if it thinks it's out of CAM space for a given type of entry.

There's also fairly extensive MPLS debugging under "debug mpls ..." that 
might prove useful.

If you don't need traffic engineering at all, you might be able to shut 
off "traffic-eng ospf" at which point you'll just get total best-effort 
LDP over IP using next-hop IP connectivity (regardless of how that 
connectivity is signaled) only AFAIK.  It's braindead simple which is 
handy if you're having problems and don't need anything more.
