The version of -aflogit- you are using is, as you report, from STB-42
in 1997 and I am not aware of a later version. My guess is that it is
broken by later changes in official Stata. Thus the first command set
you give does work in Stata 10.1, so my guess is that it is broken by
some change in Stata 11. The second command set does not work in 10.1
either. It looks like some bizarre side-effect of a change in Stata's
limits, so that "displacement" is being separated into "displace" and
"ment", but I haven't traced the error and I am not certain.
But -aflogit- is broken so far as you are concerned and I can offer no
solution for you except to find some other way of doing these
calculations.
