standard error values when prefixed with -xi3- than with-xi-:

Iain also reported Stata output showing the differences, which Richard
Williams confirmed. Michael Blasnik noticed that version control has
something to do with it.
Michael pointed out that
. xi3: version 9: svy: ologit ...
produces the same results as
. xi: svy: ologit ...
The problem is that -predict- is computing incorrect score values when
-ologit- was called under version control less than 9. The -svy- prefix fits
the model by calling -ologit- using the same version number it was called
under, then calls -predict, score- to get the equation-level scores in order
to compute the linearized variance estimates.
To clarify, -svy: ologit- (and -svy: oprobit-) only produced incorrect
standard errors when called under version control less than 9.
We just finished fixing this version control problem with -predict- after
-ologit- (and -oprobit-). It should be in the next ado-file update.
