A couple of basic questions:

* Are you sure you copied the code correctly in your message?  When I 
run it, I keep getting the error

+__000008 invalid name

* What version of Stata are you running?

* What is the oprobit command you are giving?

With 74 cases & 20+ dummies being generated, I don't find it too 
stunning that there would be minor differences.  But it'll be easier 
to tell once I can actually replicate your results.
