The svy commands changed in version 9.  The reason you are getting 
different results in version 9 is, I believe, because corr_svy does not 
work right with files svyset in v. 9.  Note that in the output, corr_svy 
says pweight = none, even though you set pweight in your svyset 
command.  Indeed, your results are almost identical to what you get with
