[ns] ns2.1b8 validation failed (linux on an alpha) (fwd)

[Karen Wang <karenw@MIT.EDU>]

Hi,

- Running Debian Linux 2.2.17 on an Alpha machine.
- Was able to install and compile ns2.1b8 successfully.
- Validation failed,
	(i don't notice the same errors on previous posts
	to the newsgroup re: validation failures)

Does someone know what might have gone wrong?
Just about every one of the tests spits out one of the following
errors (esp. Seg fault, Illegal instruc).  Here's 3 snippets.

Uhh.. Is this info sufficient for you to help me troubleshoot?

Thanks!
