One possibility is that the dummy is a nearly perfectly predictor in
the selection equation. The way to find that out is to look at a table
of the selection variable against the dummy. You can do that as
follows:
gen select = !missing(y)
tab select baddummy
(Assuming that your dependent variable is called y and the bad dummy is
called baddummy)
Hope this helps,
