Since the message in fact comes from 'gretl_bfgs.c', there could be a set option for optimizers for suppressing any warnings/messages.

Does the "set warnings" command help?

Nope.

<hansl>
#set verbose off
set messages off
open mroz.gdt --quiet
list X = educ exper age kidsl6
tobit hours const X --quiet
</hansl>

Not related to the original point, but I thought it was worth sharing anyway: after some summary investigation, it looks as if the warning you're getting is definitely a false positive due to poor scaling. If you rescale the dependent variable appropriately (say, divide it by 100), the warning message disappears. The threshold we use for printing out the warning message is definitely too strict.

Perhaps we should look into some auto-scaling strategy for truncated models (internally, the "tobit" command is just a special case of "intreg").
