[R-sig-ME] The issue of increasing maximum number of iterations

[Hypergeometric]

Dear colleagues,

I am trying to reset the maximum number of iterations in lmer function
by inserting "control=list(maxIter=1000)." Unfortunately, I found it's
not working. Interestingly, this issue has been raised by two posts in
this list, but remains unsolved. 

I am using the latest lme4 package on R version 2.9.0 (2009-04-17) on
the platform of Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty 64-bit. I also tried this on the
platform of Windows XP 32-bit and found the same result. 

My model is as follows:

R22<-lmer(ldv2_1~tstatus+...+it1+it2+(1|a1idf)+(1|a2idf)+(1|a12idf)+(1|
tidf),sample,family=binomial(link="logit"), verbose =
TRUE,control=list(maxIter=1000))

Any suggestion or help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
