Re: st: Interaction with squared variable

[rgutierrez@stata.com (Roberto G. Gutierrez, StataCorp)]

Giuseppe Cappelletti <giuseppe.cappelletti@gmail.com> has discovered a bug
when specifying interactions with squared terms in -oprobit-.  He writes:

This bug is triggered by the inclusion of both a squared term and its
interaction with a factor variable.  We will fix this in an update.
