While the Stata 11-merge- syntax require m:1, 1:1, etc., it still
executes the old syntax as long as both the master and using data are
sorted accordingly. It will just tell you that you are using the old
syntax... On the "randomly working" issue, this should not be the
case. I would suggest Stata Technical Services:
