R help - Jan 2007 - limitation in the number of covariates in nlme

Dear All
   
  I am fitting a nlme model in which I have 7 covariates. Adding one more
variable to the model, R gives me an error message:
  “Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error in "list(…..“
  This does not depend on which variables are in the model and seems to depend
strictly on the number of covariates.
   
  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Please check you have the latest version of nlme (3.1-79), as some 
restrictions of this sort were lifted a few weeks ago.

If you have, please note the advice about a minimal reproducible example 
in the footer of every help message as we will need one to be able to 
help you.
