st: -esttab- runs on Windows but on Unix says "list estimation result do not have e(b) and e(V)"

[Bert Jung <bjung59@gmail.com>]

Dear Statalisters,

I am using -estpost- and -esttab-.  On my Windows system the -estpost-
example code works fine.  But on a Unix server (my datasets are very
large) I get an error message "list estimation result do not have e(b)
and e(V)" although -ereturn list- shows that the matrices are
available.  Any suggestions on how to adapt the fantasticly useful
-estout- code would be much appreciated.

Thanks as always,
Bert
