st: GMM, Error 506: positive definite initial weight matrix

Hi,
I am trying to run a system of equations using the gmm command. When I
estimate the two equations separately the program runs perfectly. However,
when I try and estimate the two equations simultaneously I receive error
506 stating that the initial weight matrix is not positive definite. Any
ideas on how I might resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard
