issues with weights in glmer (or glmmADMB) [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

lme4 with respect to my posting from 25

      wrong, lme and asreml correct) [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] (Steve Candy)

The regression coefficients from lmer are correct 
but the standard errors are way too small in my example
with prior (or "analytical") weights where it 
was not appropriate to scale the weights to sum to 1.
As previous postings note, using prior weights of sample 
sizes when binomial proportions are the response
variable is a special case but I am not confident to use lmer 
with prior weights until the issue my above
posting raises gets some traction.

   Sorry this slipped through the cracks.  We will take a look;
