Thi Minh,

You're estiming using -robust- and a specification with a lot of 
dummies that get dropped, so your problem might be, or be related to 
the "singleton dummy" problem that arises with the robust var-cov 
matrix when there is only a single observation that has a dummy=1.

See Vince Wiggins' very clear discussion on Statalist from last June:

http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2003-06/msg00646.html

Hope this helps.
