I looked quickly, and it seems that this error comes actually from 
`anova.glm'  and from the following `get':

        if (!is.function(method))
            method <- get(method, mode = "function")

`anova.negbin' sends the  `negbin' `object' to `anova.glm', but the 
negbin object does not have a method (`glm' objects have method 
"glm.fit"). There seem to be some other differences in `negbin' and 
`glm' objects, so that `anova.glm' can't handle them (e.g., glm.control 
object is missing in `negbin' object).

I would like to help, but I don't have time now (got to mark exams).

cheers, jari oksanen
