If your dependent variable is binary (like it is implied by the info you provide), then the only values it should take are 0 & 1. Beyond that it isn't exactly clear what your specific problem is. You should also include the _exact_ syntax you enter and the exact message/output provided by Stata.

The null model works; the null model works with continuous variables added in; the null model plus one or more binary variables fails.
