Yet another weird ns-3 execution time

[Providence SALUMU MUNGA]

Dear all,

Late this night, I executed the "simple-alternate-routing" script from
ns-3-dev/example. This run endlessly and I finally was obliged to kill
the process.

The output of htop for the relevant process was as follows (Notice how
huge the amount of used memory is!!!):
VIRT --- RES --- SHR --- CPU% --- MEM% ----- TIME+
1905M 1202M 7920 91.0 59.9 10:13.76

I'm not very good at profiling unix processes, so I couldn't check to
see where the problem came from. Would you please run this script
and confirm this weird behavior?

Many thanks in advance,

This was a typo in that script; Stop() was never called, but Start() was instead called twice. I checked in a fix.

Thanks,
