Hard to say without knowing more about what you did, but from looking at 
-whelp xtprobit- it appears that the default number of quadrature points is 
12, so Stata seems to think you have <12 obs, unless you specified a 
different value for quad(#).  Try a) reducing the number of quadrature 
points or b) figuring out why Stata thinks you only have twelve obs (if 
that is incorrect).
