st: -project- and disappearing data base

[Roberto Ferrer <refp16@gmail.com>]

User-written package -project- by Robert Picard and installed using:
net from http://robertpicard.com/stata

I'm having some trouble with the -project- commands. Specifically, It
seems as if after executing -project, creates()- the data base gets
wiped out. In the example I post below it happens at the end of the do
file contained in the project. But it also occurs in any part of the
file.

Immediately below is my master file:

version 12

* Common settings

set more off
set varabbrev off   // for long projects, it's best not to abbreviate
set linesize 132    // use 7pt font for printing

* Add a directory to the ado-path for programs that are local to this project

    adopath ++ "`c(pwd)'/ado"
    project, do("ado/link_ado_files.do")

* Make sample data base to develop code (original data base is too large)

    project, do("do_files/make_sample.do")



Now I post part of log file corresponding to the file -make_sample.do-

. sample 50, count
(34862727 observations deleted)

. disp "`pdir'/proc_data/siab_r_7508_v1_sample.dta"
/home/roberto/Dropbox/UCL/1_Dissertation/ucl_thesis_stata/proc_data/siab_r_7508_v1_sample.dta

.
. save "`pdir'/proc_data/siab_r_7508_v1_sample.dta", replace
file /home/roberto/Dropbox/UCL/1_Dissertation/ucl_thesis_stata/proc_data/siab_r_7508_v1_sample.dta
saved

The data is there before the -project, creates()- and right after the
command it disappears. What's going on?

Any help is appreciated.
