Is there any possibility that you are repeatedly changing your data, in
a manner like this:

. use originaldata

. replace x = log(1+x)
. reg y x

. replace x = log(1+x)
. reg y x

If you can reproduce the problem in as simple a do-file as possible, you
could test that all the relevant variables are the same before each call
to xtreg (e.g. by running -su y x1 x2 x3- etc and comparing the output). 

Regards,

Brendan
