inla.core.safe max try error

[Teresa McGee]

I am fitting a fairly simple model using the package Diploffect.INLA which calls INLA. The code previously worked, but now is throwing the error. It stems from inla.core.safe() and results from reaching a "max.try" of 2.  

Error in inla.core.safe(formula = formula, family = family, contrasts = contrasts,  :
  *** Fail to get good enough initial values. Maybe it is due to something else.

Can anyone expand on this error a bit more and give insight into whether code may need to be updated or this is an issue with the sparse matrix library transition?

It might be an error in the input to the model (and Inf or NAN) which
might cause this to happen (like every function evaluation will be NAN),
or some of the input or response data, needs to be scaled

I do not know the package Diploeffect, so you might ask the authors of
that one.
