I want to estimate a lad regression on a large dataset with around

The lad command crashes due to the large size of the dataset,
however I have found the quantreg seems to use a different
algorithm and looks more promising.
It works most of the time (matches results from Matlab and does it
very quickly).
However, I have found it to be quite unstable and in some
specifications it will give me a 'data error'. Unfortunately I
can't work out how to dig into the source of the error. [...]
if you can send me your dataset and model specification(s) offlist
I'll look into the problem.
