May be you installed -ivreg2- from SJ rather than from ssc, which usually provides the newest version. Solution:
ssc install ivreg2, replace
For the interpretation, it depends on what you think about the p-value. If you usually reject the null hypothesis for any p<5%, then everything is fine. I you reject the null hypothesis also for any 10%<p<5%, then the test casts doubt on the validity of the instruments. Please note that -xtoverid- produces a similar test and may give slightly different results (running the example at the end of the help for -overidxt- yealds a p=.4138; re-running with -xtoverid- yealds a p=.4411)
