The problem I am often finding with the big computing environments is
that they might be sluggish with Stata updates -- doing those once in
a quarter or so (understandably, if they have 50 other programs to
maintain, and C++ compilers are probably used 50 times more often than
Stata in a typical university setting). Check for updates for
everything, including -ice- itself.
