I tried gllamm on a toy data set (pasted below). Rather than the variance
components I hoped for, it gave the output below, including a mysterious s1
which wasnt in the data set. Am I being stupid? Are my data not set up
properly? Im running Stata 8.2.   Geoff

That's strange.  When I typed that command with your dataset (running Stata 
Release 9), I get variance components.  Is -gllamm- is up-to-date on your 
machine?
