Federica,
please "name" your messages by filling in the subject line. This
really helps people to find out whether they consider your email of
interest to them.
I tried to reproduce the Stata behaviour that you described, but I did
not succeed. I would think that it would help a lot if you could mail
more details (code, output, etc..) . to the list.
Kind regards,
sebastian
