Note that an update to the -oaxaca- package is now available from the
SSC Archive. The -oaxaca2- command does not change version anymore for
internal model estimation. That is, -oaxaca2- will now correctly work
with, e.g., -tobit- (Statat 9 only).
To install the update, type
. ssc install oaxaca, replace
or use the adoupdate command.

The problem is that "_se" is stored in the main tobit equation in
Stata versions prior version 9. This fools oaxaca. oaxaca assumes
"_se" be another covariate in the model and tries to compute its mean.
Note that oaxaca2 will not work even if you use Stata 9 because the
version is reset to 8.2 internally. I will change oaxaca2 so that it
does not reset version. In the meanwhile, estimate and store your
models under version 9 and then apply oaxaca to the stored estimates
(not oaxaca2). In your case:
version 9
tobit lasset_s sratio ... if sexo==0, ll
est sti sexo0
tobit lasset_s sratio ... if sexo==1, ll
est sti sexo1
oaxaca sexo0 sexo1
Hope this helps.
