I wonder if this is a scaling problem?  The coefficients on your
variables are many orders of magnitude apart, from about 0.001 to about
100.  You can try rescaling and see if the problem disappears.  Add 100
to your dep var so that the constant is brought into line, and divide
kl12 by 100.  Also have a look at the first-stage regressions to see if
there are any scaling problems there.

Second thought - compare the results to official ivreg.

If this doesn't work, contact me off list and we'll investigate further.

Cheers,
Mark
