Kit,

Am I missing something?  I ran the code you posted and the residuals
look alike:

. su eps* dif*

    Variable |       Obs        Mean    Std. Dev.       Min        Max
-------------+--------------------------------------------------------
       eps31 |       758   -2.43e-12    .3251221  -1.171273   1.144041
       eps32 |       758    2.23e-12    11.10275  -51.36207   35.72457
       eps21 |       758   -4.36e-14    .3251221  -1.171273   1.144041
       eps22 |       758   -3.27e-12     11.0972  -51.23323   35.13828
        dif1 |       758   -2.39e-12    1.12e-13  -2.73e-12  -1.93e-12
-------------+--------------------------------------------------------
        dif2 |       758    5.50e-12    .3511293  -.8901897   1.081768
