A Failure - But No Reason

Dear All,

I attended SP lab few days before and I experienced an strange issue..

I finished the OEQ section in 15 minutes, answered all the questions
correctly as per book (MPLS IOS Configurations, MPLS Fundamentals, TCP/IP
Vol I & II)
During the lab, after half of MPLS VPN section, my routers started play with
me.. I had to clear the global routing table couple of times, to obtain the
label mapping for any new prefixes..
Since I noticed I was running out of time, I completed all the lab
configurations first. Now I am left with 45 minutes. And now I started to
figure out the issue. I nearly pointed out one router doesn't have proper
forwarding table as per the binding it has. I tried couple of things, but
couldn't get it working..

When I checked with proctor, he said there cannot be any bugs in the
routers..

By this time my lab time is over, I left the exam.I expected OEQ-Pass and
LAB -fail.

But I got the results both failed.........

I tried to do the same config in dynamips (with same image) and exactly got
the issue, and it is listed as a BUG in Cisco site..

I am totally confused.. I am absolutely confident with my configurations and
oeq-answers, from my preparation of nearly 1.5 years. Also I am working on
these configurations from the day one I started my job.

Is CCIE just a game, Cisco use to play with our money? Now I am failed
without knowing the reason, which will not tell me to improve on what
portion?

I would like to listen your suggestions/advice please..

HOPE I didn't violate Mr.CISCO's NDA!!!

Regards,
