SORRY that I am answering so late,but it took me some time to experiment
with
both model-functions(see below):
//!!!!!!!!!!!!! I answered twice to Nick Cox by `answer` in my e-mail-Editor
but it did not occur in Stata-list    // maybe it was the long time I
experienced //

You are right in assuming that I try to fit a twopeak-curve-
a4 * (a1*exp(-((x-a3)/a2)^2)  + (1 - a1)*exp(-((x-a6)/a5)^2)) -
makes physical-sense and I am successful and happy to reach convergence with
both models yours and mine the old one: f(x) = a1*exp(-((x-a3)/a2)^2)  +
a4*exp(-((x-a6)/a5)^2) :
    I varied the parameters in both cases(model-functions) and tried  to
vary tolerance ;
    stepsize and  iterations with help from numerical recipes/method of
Levenberg-Marquardt/
but - this is my problem - only successful in another statistical software,
I have problems to program and vary tolerance;stepsize and iterations in
Stata,writing the do-file
with initial parameter-setting  works wthout mistakes(see do-file above).
I can't find >> Royston,P 1992 sg 1.2 Nonlinear Regression Command. Stata

anywhere , I want to know
the algorithm very exactly.
any help will be very appreciated                                andreas
