Thank you for both responses. I already updated all. To check whether
I made the mistake Nick said, and since my syntax took too long to run
in Windows, I'll condense it into short version, and try to run it in
both Window and Unix again. Hopefully this time it will work in UNIX.

The problem I am often finding with the big computing environments is
that they might be sluggish with Stata updates -- doing those once in
a quarter or so (understandably, if they have 50 other programs to
maintain, and C++ compilers are probably used 50 times more often than
Stata in a typical university setting). Check for updates for
everything, including -ice- itself.
