Anyone using the penalised partial likelihood routines in survival5 should update their version. A bug has been fixed in the S package: in coxph() models with penalised likelihood and strata it was possible in some circumstances to get an infinite loop or perhaps an incorrect answer. The new version (2.3) is on cran.r-project.org and will percolate through CRAN in the next few days. -thomas Thomas Lumley Asst.

There is a name conflict in files agsurv3.c and coxfit5.c. I get an "Inconsistent type declaration" error for the variable 'time'. Changing the name of the variable solved the problem. -- Peter Kleiweg http://www.let.rug.nl/~kleiweg/ -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
