The glms I've been using commonly use update directly, so it's even
more likely to be a problem.

Thanks for the offer.  It would be a bit involved getting you an
appropriate piece of the data to replicate it, but I've been able to
get around the problem by attaching the dataframe and leaving out the
data = part of the call.

However, if the work around that Brian Ripley suggested isn't enough
to hunt down a more elegant fix and you need a problem to use, let me
know, and I'll extract a piece for you.

Thanks for your help.
