I very much doubt the idea of a bug in -glm-. The point is that your syntax change is not at all trivial: it could mean many fewer parameters to estimate. Otherwise put, the issue is almost certainly the difficulty of fitting your model, rather than the size of the dataset or any problem in Stata.

For reference only, if i replace i.r`i'cenreg with r`i'cenreg, the
glm command runs through. but I don't know why. Maybe a bug with glm?
