Puzzle #1 - Find what is broken - Dealing with tunnels

It seems like everyone likes puzzles, so I thought I would make one.

The diagram below indicates a network where users on router 1 connect to the servers on router 2 via a transport network.


Router 1 and Router 2 had an EIGRP neighbor adjacency using EIGRP and everything was working fine, however, in an effort to move to open standards a similar configuration with OSPF was implemented.  Now, tunnel 0 will not stay up.

The current configurations for R1 and R2 are below.


!!!R1

ip route 12.43.78.128 255.255.255.252 12.43.78.137 2 name R1_LOOPBACK_NETWORK

The EIGRP configuration that was working is below.

!old eigrp section
router eigrp 1
 passive-interface default
 no passive-interface Tunnel0
 network 12.0.0.0
 network 172.16.0.0 255.240.0.0
 no auto-summary

Additionally, the routers can easily ping each other via their loopback addresses that are used for the tunnels.


R1#ping 12.43.78.141 source 12.43.78.129

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 12.43.78.141, timeout is 2 seconds:
Packet sent with a source address of 12.43.78.129
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 16/43/76 ms

Why did this tunnel start failing when OSPF was introduced?  What can be done to fix the issue?
