Roland,

I did a google search for
     R Error: inner loop 2; cannot correct step size
and found an old R-help message that suggests the glm() algorithm cannot
converge.
     https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2009-December/223142.html

I get the same error message as you when I fit
     glm(cbind(resp,nresp)~d+I(d^2)+I(d^3),data=test,family=
binomial(clog()))
but no error message if I get rid of the last parameter
     glm(cbind(resp,nresp)~d+I(d^2),data=test,family=binomial(clog()))

Hope this helps

Jean
