I ran into a new error and I cannot trace it because I think the problem
is caused by an ml proceedure.

I am running a ml model d0 estimation and this is my output:

initial:       log likelihood = -1720.5831
alternative:   log likelihood = -1685.3319
rescale:       log likelihood = -801.15134
Iteration 0:   log likelihood = -801.15134  (not concave)
Iteration 1:   log likelihood =  193.03404  (not concave)
Iteration 2:   log likelihood =  813.56394  
Iteration 3:   log likelihood =  974.59715  
Iteration 4:   log likelihood =  975.55101  
Iteration 5:   log likelihood =  975.55103  
system limit exceeded - see manual
r(1000);

************************************************
The model is converging correctly because the last iteration
log-likelihood is the same as the true model from regress:

Note this is a trivial example to replicate the error.

Any suggestions?
