It is obvious that Stata chokes on the instruction to run a command under "
version 8.199999999999999". But how does this instruction end up there? When
I put "vers 8.2" at the very top of the do-file, the statement appears with
the correct "version 8.2:" in my log. To be honest, I am puzzled. Must have
something to do with precision, that much I do know :-)

After -set trace on-, I get this right at the end:
[...]

Work that one out.

So am I, but I won't be losing sleep over it, as I need to get my
registration for Stata 9 back.
