It's generally a good idea when asking this sort of question -- especially
here on NANOG, which is *not* Junior Varsity -- to present what you *expected*
to see, what you *saw*, and why you think that implies breakage outside your
facility.

Let me refer you to:

  http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

and 

  http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html

which are the two standard reference works on the meta-topic here at hand.

Cheers,
