[R-sig-ME] glmer != lmer(,..family=binomioal)

[Douglas Bates]

Hmm.  Those calls should be equivalent in that version so I will look
into why they aren't.

At present I am involved in hand-to-hand combat with that code trying
to determine why the calculation of the Laplace approximation for the
glmer methods is not correct.  I thought I had it working but on
further checking I discovered that I don't.  Don't use that version
for glmer for a few days.
