The problem is one of less than full rank, similar to a regression
including collinear RHS variables, so there is an infinite set of
possible solutions.
See
help _rmcoll, help _rmdcoll
for a related utility that handles collinear RHS variables,
and note you cannot see the source code for these or -regress-.

if i run regress with more covariates than observations, some
covariates will be dropped. How does Stata decide which variables are
dropped. I could not infer this from the source code.
