Indeed, thank you (we needed an example). Alter

This is actually a solution I thought of as well. However it has the disadvantage that plot (and other functions?) gets problems:
fit.tst <- glm(SKR.ein.aus ~ ., family = binomial, data = bugdata)
Warning messages: 1: fitted probabilities of 0 or 1 occurred in: (if (is.empty.model(mt)) glm.fit.null else glm.fit)(x = X, y = Y, . . . 7: Algorithm did not converge in: (if (is.empty.model(mt)) glm.fit.null else glm.fit)(x = X, y = Y,
plot(fit.tst)
We already know that plot.lm does not work correctly with glm objects with zero weights. I am not at all sure it should be used for glm objects (except Gaussian ones). However, I think you missed Martin M's point. This behaviour indicates an inappropriate model, one with separation of the groups, and all the linear approximations needed for a local lm model are inappropriate. We also know that the whole glm area needs a long hard look.
