Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

Why do you keep using the "missing" option? In DHS surveys, a dot means "Not applicable". You should not include those cases in any of the analysis. Please try your commands again, excluding "missing". Let us know if you still have a problem.
