Validation errors

["Philip F. Chimento" <chimento@cs.utwente.nl>]

Hello: 
While running the validation tests for ns-2 (on a SUN 5/10 OS 5.5.1) 
I am getting some problems with (it looks like) Perl parsing of 
parameters. The following is typical of what happens. Does anyone have
a clue about what is going wrong and how to fix it ? Thanks in advance.

Test output differs from reference output

Differences due to floating-point formatting are not significant.
