[ADMB Users] error message for glmm.admb

[Ben Bolker]

  I think this was my fault.
  I don't have a working Windows installation at the moment: would you
be willing to re-install and test sometime tomorrow, when the package
should have been re-built?

  Alternatively, try source()ing the attached file and see if that fixes
the problem?

  thanks
    Ben Bolker
