Dear All,

  I am running some xtreg, fe estimates of the following form

   xi: xtreg depvar indepvars i.A*i.B, fe robust cluster(clustervar)

I keep on getting the following error

   matrix not positive definite
   r(506)

However, the error does not arrise if I do not use the robust command. 
I would greatly appreciate if someone may be able to guide me to what
i'm doing wrong.  Thank you.

Scott
