Annything odd with -nl- automatically screams non-convergence,
and an R^2 of 1.000 certainly screams non-convergence to me.
-nl- is very sensitive to correct starting values, as is
elaborately described in the documentation of -nl-. So I would
start there. Anyhow, I would always try multiple reasonable
starting values with -nl-, just to check whether what I found
is really there, or just an artifact.
