Dear Joost,
ppml will struggle to deal with such massive number of dummies; you will need a very fast processor and a lot of memory to be able to do it, assuming that you do not go beyond Stata's limits. For these cases I suggest you try ppml_panel_sg (avaliable form SSC), which should be much faster and also checks for the existence of the estimates. I recommend that you start with a small data set to make sure you get the same results with both commands.
About the problem with the OLS results, I prefer not to comment on that because the results are not reliable anyway.
Best wishes,
Joao
