The version is mgcv 1.3-27. Last night, I dropped out many arguments from my
program to test which part
might be the source of causing this error message, and found that the
program works when just using corAR1().

This program has no this kind of problem in the beginning, but doesn't work
after I impute some missing data
in PM10 and tmean by multiple imputation approach. Hope this information can
also help identify the
element of this problem.
