Hard to say, that depends on what exactly the problem is. The devil is
in the detail in such situations. So I would just look at lots and
lots of cross tabulations and graphs to see if I can identify the
problem. As I said, I suspect a coding error or a reference category
that is not left out, or one or more too small comunities, but it
could be many other things.
