I was seeing the same troubles as Stephen Jenkins saw after getting the
last batch of ados (30 Sept) and the latest executable (26 Sept). I've
been -discard-ing all day, since I'm writing some ado files. I've even
stopped and restarted Stata twice.
Turns out the problem had been that I'd backed up the Stata folder with
an old version of Stuffit, so some long file names for some of the
graphics classes had become corrupted.
So... if you're seeing troubles even after -discard-ing or restarting
Stata, you might try pulling your profile.do out of Stata's folder (along
with whatever else you may have put there), reinstalling, updating, and
then moving everything back.
