There are a couple of versions of -ice-.  Perhaps you got one of the 
non-SSC versions that isn't as up to date, e.g. sometimes the Stata 
Journal version isn't the latest and greatest.

I don't know why it would matter, but you could try using the 
-saving- option instead of -using-.

Do you have an older version of Stata around, e.g. 9.2?  You could 
check to see if the problem existed in earlier versions of Stata.
