validation problem

[sjahn@cs.umd.edu]

To those who can explain what went wrong:

When I ran the 'validate' script, it gave me a lot of bad messages.
FYI, I did not have any problem with 'install' script and I ran ns
on Solaris2.5. 

I'll describe what I have got from 'validate' script.
First, tests in ./test-all gave no putput, e.g., the following
is test-output/tahoe1.test .

---------------------------
TitleText: tahoe
Device: Postscript

(nothing below)
---------------------------

For the rest, some test suites were OK for all the tests in it.
For instance, all the tests in ./test-all-vegas-v1 put out what they
were supposed to. But from others, specifically, ./test-all-tcp 
./test-all-full ./test-all-red ./test-all-sack ./test-all-schedule ./
test-all-cbq ./test-all-rbp, I could see following error messages 
occasionally. These messages always involved syntax error in file ../../bin/* .

I'll appreciate any help from you.
