R help - Jul 2010 - pgmm error with lags higher than 2 in GMM instruments (package plm)

Hello Giovanni, Hello Yves, Hello R-help-Readers, 

I re-run an old code of mine which uses the pgmm() function (and which used to
work with an older versions) under plm version 1.2-4 and got the following error
message

Error in cbind(xd, td.model.diff) : 
  number of rows of matrices must match (see arg 2)

The error can be reproduced with the example from help when the lag of the
GMM-instruments is changed from starting from e.g. 2 to 3 (here for example
"...|lag(log(emp), 3:99)..." in stead of "...|lag(log(emp),
2:99)..." ):
> pgmm(log(emp) ~ lag(log(emp), 1)+ lag(log(wage), 0:1) +
+                 lag(log(capital), 0:1) | lag(log(emp), 3:99) +
+                 lag(log(wage), 2:99) + lag(log(capital), 2:99),
+                 data = EmplUK, effect = "twoways", model =
"onestep",
+                 transformation = "ld")
Error in cbind(xd, td.model.diff) : 
  number of rows of matrices must match (see arg 2)


Is this only _my_ problem or is it re-producable by others as well?
Is it weird to have the lag 2 not included as gmm-instrument? 
Did I make an error in the call of the model (there used to be the option of
specifying lag.gmm e.g. as
"lag.gmm=list("d"=c(2,4),"l"=c(0,99)))" )?

As far as I understood it must have to do something  with number of rows of
td.model.diff  (respective with time.lost.level) in the pgmm() function.

I am using R 2.11.1 under Windows 7

Thank you for your comments, Uli
