I don't know the answer, but I think I can eliminate one potential
cause, which I hope is sorta helpful. You claim the the prolem is that
the contract doesn't change over time. This can't be  the problem,
because you report that the model works OK when you add sex, and this
presumably doesn't change over time either. 

Hope this helps,
Maarten
