[ns] test-all-red: validate fails at flows_combined and flows_unforced (redhat 7.0, 7.1): diff shows reordering of results

Greetings,

I am an electrical engineering student and have been using ns for a couple
of months.  I would like to share some experience and kindly request some
assistance.

Under RedHat 7.0 and 7.1 (Pentium II), validation fails at test-all-red
flows_combined and flows_unforced.  Looking at the results files, I found
that all numerical results are the same, but the ordering is different.  Old
postings at this mailing list suggests this problem might be
platform-related or compiler-related.  My question is:  will this reordering
modify or damage any simulation that uses RED?  Is there any known solution
yet?

I also read that by using "-g", the problem could be circumvented.  Pardon
my ignorance, but where do I put this option?  "validate -g"?  Or is this a
compiler option?

I have successfully installed and validated ns-2 on an Intel computer
running RedHat 6.2...  but I would really like to work on a newer version.
:)
