Dear Maintainer,

I'm not sure why this fails on Ubuntu but not Debian, but we are getting a
FTBFS due to a failure in test_discrete.py's TestProbitCG.

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/83193398/buildlog_ubuntu-precise-i386.statsmodels_0.3.1-2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

By simply bumping the number of iterations allowed for that test to converge,
we can fix it.  The attached patch does that.

I've forwarded the idea upstream: 
https://github.com/statsmodels/statsmodels/issues/109

Thanks for considering the patch.
