  It looks like glmmADMB failed its tests again.  Sigh.

  If someone out there is running R on 64-bit Linux, could they please
try the following code and see if it fails ... ?
  (I don't understand why it stopped working -- maybe r-forge changed
their build platform?)

set.seed(101)
nblock <- 10
nrep <- 10
d2 <- expand.grid(f=factor(LETTERS[1:nblock]),rep=1:nrep)
N <- nrow(d)
d2$x <- runif(N)
u_f <- rnorm(nblock,sd=1)
u_fx <- rnorm(nblock,sd=0.5)
beta <- c(1,2)
eta <- model.matrix(~x,data=d2) %*% beta + u[as.numeric(d2$f)]+
  u[as.numeric(d2$f)]*d$x
d2$y <- rpois(N,exp(eta))

##old style:
g2 <- glmmadmb(y~x,random=~x|f,family="poisson",data=d2)

g2 <- glmmadmb(y~x+(x|f),family="poisson",data=d2,
               admb.opts=admbControl(noinit=FALSE))
