[R] limitation in the number of covariates in nlme

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Please check you have the latest version of nlme (3.1-79), as some 
restrictions of this sort were lifted a few weeks ago.

If you have, please note the advice about a minimal reproducible example 
in the footer of every help message as we will need one to be able to 
help you.
