Dear Kit:
-overid- works like a charm now. Thank  you very much for providing 
Stata users with such a great resource and for updating the code!
There is a small discrepancy in the overidentification statistic.

What is a little odd, though, is that the Hansen Sargan statistic 
returned by overid (using a simple two-equation model with 2SLS) is not 
the same as ivreg2:

ivtobit issue, the problem -- as Martin reported -- was that ivtobit is 
returning two or more variable names in e(depvar). We have pulled off 
word 1 of depvar, which will work even when e(depvar) is corrected to be 
a single word.
