AW: st: bca' option in bootstrap causing Stata to crash?

" What do you mean exactly with "crash":"




Well, Edmond said that Stata issues the "... same uninformative warning message "Stata has encountered a problem and needs to close". That sounds like the real thing to me. -set trace on- won`t help since it cannot finish its job...

What do you mean exactly with "crash": does Stata shut down, or
is it still running but becomes unresponsive, or does it issue
an error message? If it shuts down, than you need to contact
Stata's tech support <http://www.stata.com/support/tech-support/tech2.html>. 
If Stata becomes unresponsive, make sure that your
program is converging in a reasonable amount of time in all  
your samples (i.e. if it uses -ml- you can set the maximum
number of itterations to 50). If it gives you an error message,
tell us the error message.
