[R] glmm.admb - bug and possible solution??

[Hans Skaug]

Dear R list,

A problem with the package glmmADMB was pointed out by R. Bagchi some time ago.
We have now fixed the problem and a new version of the package can be downloaded
from the usual place:

http://otter-rsch.com/admbre/examples/glmmadmb/glmmADMB.html

The likelihood values that previously were off by a constant have now been corrected.

Please let me know if there are other problems.
