st: Accessing saved results from -xtmelogit- for postestimation calculations

[Marshall Garland <marshall.w.garland@gmail.com>]

Hello-

I'm unable to use saved results from -xtmelogit- for postestimation
calculations. Results saved using -estimates save- are viewable when I
-estimates use- and replay them, but when I attempt to calculate
random effects, I get an "r(2000) no observations" error. I do not
receive the error when I save and restore estimates from -reg-. I
received the error both in Stata 12 MP for Windows and Stata 11 SE on
Unix. I suspected that it might have something to do with properly
setting the -e(sample)-, but if I include -estimates esample:- before
-predict-, I receive a "data have changed since estimation r(459);"
error.

The syntax below reproduces the error. Has anyone else received this error?

Thanks.
