[Bogaso Christofer]

Hello Bolker, Hope you will make available at least the problem and
reasoning to this list. I am also very much interested to see the problem

  This is very interesting but practically impossible to solve because it's
not reproducible; is there any chance that you can make the data available?
You can send it directly to me (Ben Bolker -- my e-mail is pretty easy to
find on the web) if you like.
