_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n_:

     Data on the recurrence times to infection, at the point
     of insertion of the catheter, for kidney patients using
     portable dialysis equipment.  Catheters may be removed
     for reasons other than infection, in which case the
     observation is censored.  Each patient has exactly 2
     observations.

     survival5 does not reproduce the original analysis.
