Holy cow, that's a lot of alternatives. I am with Maarten on this, unless you have a truly huge (and amazingly well-conditioned) dataset you are going to be getting a lot of perfect prediction.

I agree. Having said that, I wonder if mprobit would work? I don't see a documented limit on the # of categories. Of course, you might have to wait a few months for it to finish running.
