A working example would be needed to figure out what is happening. My
best guess is that there is a problem with the model specification
(Daniel and Bob mentioned a couple possible issues) or that this example
runs into trouble computing derivatives of the model which are needed
for standard errors and such. If it is trouble with derivatives, it may
be a bug in need of fixing, but a full working example would be needed.
