The error is in the ns-lan.tcl file, not in the scripts, since the
install-error calls in create-error use a wrong parameter list.
But I agree with you that due to the optional parameters, the order
shouldn't be changed. Therefore it would be best to make sure
that create-error calls install-error in the right way, that is, 
replacing <$self install-error $src $dst $e1> by <$self install-error
$e1 $src $dst> (same for $e2).
