Could not get a lmer or glmer summary
I have solved my problem, which was apparently due to a conflict between lme4 and another library (one of these: tree, VGAM, sn, Matrix, mclust...) about an "rcon" object if I remember well. Removing all the libraries including lme4 from /usr/local/lib/R/site-library and re-installing lme4 in /usr/lib/R/site-library made the trick. Sorry for not providing more detailed information, I just do not remember more! Cheers, eric

Dear Ben, thank you for your feed-back. I have now tested lmer on several datasets and I always get the same error message when asking for model summary. So the problem is with lme4, not with the data. Then, I ran the exact same models and data on another machine and it works fine! So the lme4 problem is specific to my machine. Then, I tried brute force: uninstalling and re-installing R on my machine, but the lme4 problem remains.
Therefore, you either need to "just" extract the results you want from m11 directly (doing any necessary calculations yourself), or step through using a debugger, or send all the files to Douglas Bates ;) Cheers, David Duffy.
