Thanks for the details.

Your Stata is up-to-date.

Your -gllamm- is not up-to-date. See SSC for a version 10 years more
recent and install it using -ssc-.

. ssc type gllamm.ado
*! version 2.3.20 SRH 7 Sept 2011
program define gllamm, eclass

I can't say whether updating will fix your problem, but it will do no harm.
