There is a bug in TORA in ns-2.27.

One of the tcl scripts that configures a mobile node tries to call a
non-existing function called port-dmux on the Agent/TORA object. This is
why the simulation stops.

Here is a patch that will implement such a function (the function does
nothing) in the Agent/TORA class. For me, this work-around works fine.
