Error in v1.0-8 about the structure of the data for the random factor

[wcornwell]

Hello,

I had some code that seemed to be working with v1.0-6, but when I updated to v1.0-8, the model call returns an error.

model1<-BTm(player1=winner,player2=loser,
            formula = ~ prev +   
              (1|ID), id="ID",data=dataset)

which still in v1.0-6 runs (apparently) well, but in v1.0-8 it returns this error

Error in (function (fixed, random = NULL, family = "binomial", data = NULL, : 
`random` should be a matrix object, with 596 rows.

the traceback is pretty cryptic at least to me:

Error in (function (fixed, random = NULL, family = "binomial", data = NULL, : 
`random` should be a matrix object, with 596 rows.

stop("`random` should be a matrix object, with ", nrow(modelData), " rows.")

BTm(player1 = winner, player2 = loser, formula = ~prev + (1 | ID), id = "ID", data = dataset)

This is probably my mistake, but I'm having trouble tracking down where it's coming from. Any thoughts?
