I am glad it all worked out for you. When I run your code, I get the same
result whether I -list- the dataset created by -simulate- or I look at the
-outreg2- xml-file via - !start low_low2.xml-. Everything may ride here on
what "kick-out" means for you...

In fact, Martin, I found a "trick" (ignore my lousy code for the 
groupings for the time being--I will update it).

So, Stata does "kick-out" coefficients that are not common. For 
instance, in the code I gave you before, it only identifies 5 betas from 
the simulation.

. fsum,

Variable    N    Mean    SD    Min    
Max


                  
_b_x1    11    1.72    0.57    1.02    2.81    
_b_x2    9    1.77    1.30    -1.05    3.76    
_b_x7    17    1.35    0.40    0.76    2.38    
_b_x9    17    1.11    0.27    0.66    1.54    
_b_x5    13    1.22    0.37    0.84    2.14    
_b_cons    20    4.56    1.94    0.82    8.19    
_se_x1    11    0.78    0.11    0.58    0.98    
_se_x2    9    0.76    0.14    0.55    1.01    
_se_x7    17    0.41    0.04    0.36    0.49    
_se_x9    17    0.47    0.07    0.32    0.60    
_se_x5    13    0.46    0.07    0.36    0.59    
_se_cons    20    0.92    0.26    0.55    1.47    


However, I used -outreg2- to post the results of each simulation, and 
voilà, problem solved!  See new code below.

Best,
J.
