You might be interested in my program margin. It computes marginal effects
analytically, thus you will definitely not met the error message.
To obtain it, visit the website http://www.bkae.hu/bartus/stata
or type in web-aware stata
net from http://www.bkae.hu/bartus/stata
net install margin
Hopes this help
