Hi, one more thing (although it turned out not to be important_ -
you're using improper (nu=0) priors which in some situations might be
problematic. in general try using proper ones (see Jarrod's Course
Notes for details) or parameter expansion, especially if you expect
close-to-zero variances.

Cheers,
sz.
