Dawn,

If you're using -hausman- after ivreg, you won't get the "failure to 
meet the asymptotic assumptions" problem if you use the -sigmamore- 
option.  This guarantees that the matrix difference in the middle of 
the standard Hausman test statistic is positive definite.

Even simpler, just to install -ivendog- from ssc-ideas.  This will 
give you both the Wu-Hausman artificial regression F stat, and the 
(Durbin-Wu-)Hausman chi-sq statistic, after estimation using -ivreg-.

Hope this helps.
