High standard errors in qpDstat results #105
Description
Hi, I noticed that sometimes when I ran qpDstat(version: 662) with "printsd: YES", the output standard error (in column seven) can reach up to one, and the value of D/Z did not equal to the output standard_error. As the following results showed, when the output standard error is 1, the absolute of Z score still reach above 3.

So I am wondering, is this the real calculated standard error, or is this a sign of some calculating problem? Also, are these D results trust-worthy to infer population relationships? In which kind of scenario will this (high standard error) be more likely to happen?
Looking forward to your reply. If there is any thing that I misundertand, I will be really grateful to know. Thanks a lot!!
