R help - Nov 2014 - cluster + tt terms in coxph

This is fixed in version 2.37-8 of the survival package, which has been in my
"send to
CRAN real-soon-now" queue for 6 months.  Your note is a prod to get it
done.  I've been
updating and adding vignettes.

Is your fixed code publicly available somewhere?  (The 'survival' 
repository at R-forge doesn't seem to have been updated since January.)
