Right, -gllamm- does not accept factor variables. And I agree,
-xi- creates terrible names by default, though you can change that.

I think another exception to use -xi:- with Stata 11, rather than use
factor variables, is when the following estimation commands are being
used
-exlogistic-, -expoisson-, -qreg-, -iqreg-, -sqreg- and -bsqreg-.
There may be other commands that do not allow factor variables.
There are also probably many user-written commands that have not been updated to work with
factor variables. I know my -gologit2- program does not. (Incidentally, I never have liked
xi, mostly because of the hideous variable names it creates; I'd rather generate the
dummies and interaction terms myself.)
