Just to close part of this thread, it turns out that Suryadipta found a
bug in -xtoverid-, namely it crashed after estimation using -xthtaylor-
with empty varlists (e.g., estimation no time-invariant endogenous
variables).  I've fixed the bug, and the new version of -xtoverid- is
available from ssc-ideas, with thanks as usual to Kit Baum.
