Dear Douglas Bates and R users, 
 
some time ago I sent an simulated example with a overdispersed Poisson GLMM where I compare glmmPQL and glmer.
See https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mixed-models/2010q1/003289.html 
 
I found some problems in the results on glmer with quasipoisson family.
I hope someone could explain this

Subject: [R-sig-ME] Examples of GLMM fits?

I have added the Gamma family for glmer in the lme4a package and will
backport to the lme4 package.   (Actually Ben Bolker sent me a patch
for lme4 several weeks ago and I haven't gotten around to installing
it yet but will do so.)

However, before I release it I would like to have an example data set
and model on which to test it.  I don't have any.  Could someone
provide me with a reference to data and a fitted model that I could
use as an example?  I would also appreciate an example of a Poisson
GLMM and other families too.
