Hello,

I am trying to estimate a multinomial logit specification that
includes a categorical variable interacted with a squared term.
Specifically:

Stata (v11) gives me the following error:

I saw a post on this on Stata List from 2009 which says this bug will
be fixed in an update
(http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2009-10/msg00584.html), but I
haven't been able to find an update.  Has this bug been fixed?

I assume you actually updated your Stata. If so, the comment about "o operators" makes me wonder if Stata is getting confused by your variable names. Try creating a clone of o_ltv (e.g. ltvo) and see if the problem persists.
