[R-sig-ME] problem bootstraping a mixed-model (lme)

Hi Ken and Ben.
Unfortunately this seems to be beyond my statistical/coding skills.
Maybe the solution is to look for alternatives to get a CI for the
repeatability for my model, like likelihood profiling as suggested by the
original paper of Nakagawa and Schielzeth, 2010. Does it sound good? Any
better alternative?
I will give it a try...

Thanks for your comments.

David
