Dear list, perhaps this query has been posed before, but I wonder if  
anyone has commented on a problem in running the example 7.3 from  
Peter Congdon's  "Applied Bayesian Modelling" book?  This is a  
Poisson spatial model using the Scottish lip cancer data and is well  
known,  featuring in the original WinBugs examples.  The problem  
arises only in the CAR model - ICAP(1) and ICAR(rho) seem to be  
fine.  The model compiles but it ends in a Trap as soon as I try the  
initial burn-in.
Regards,
Alan Kelly
