I receive a different error message:
  Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : Object "Fim" not found
So much for the reproducibility... Wouldn't it be possible to simply use
a data set that is already available in R, *please*?

Anyways, it seems that your specification of `nu' causes the
problem: 0 might be a little bit too small.
