[R] Problem with glmmADMB

[Andrew Robinson]

Hi Michael,

this error should be reported to the package maintainer, whom I assume
to be the package author, Dave Fournier.  I saw on his website:

Questions relating to the R-package should be posted to the ADMB user
forum under the topic "ADMB NBMM for R"

Cheers

Andrew
