Hi Simon, 

Thanks for your response. I am now running mgcv 1.7-13 on R-2.14. Having fixed 
this error, I now encounter the following when fitting this model

Error in qr.qty(qrx, yn) : 'qr' and 'y' must have the same number of rows
Calls: bam -> bgam.fit -> qr.update -> qr.qty -> qr.qty

bam(cbind(group0, temp)~1+ as.factor(AGEcat) + 
HSMF+BachMF+income.cpi+poverty+tobacco+tax+CigSalesPerCap+blacks+hisp+asian+native
 +s( year.centered , by= fips , bs='cr', k=8) +s( fips , bs='re'), gamma=1.6, 
family=binomial(link="logit"), data=data

My sense is that the error is coming from the term

s( year.centered , by= fips , bs='cr', k=8)

as if I run the same model with

s( year.centered, bs='cr', k=8)

I don't get the error. Thus, something about trying to fit these smooths by 
fips id is causing the error. 

Do you have any ideas on what might be happening? I recognize it is hard to 
know without seeing the data....

Thanks again
Casey

upgrade to the current mgcv version (see last item in changeLog for mgcv 
1.7-12)
