I am interested in fitting individual Weibull curves to the four subgroups
that
comprise my data.  Here is my code:

        censor.object <-
censor(Time.of.Death,Interval.UpperLimit,Censor.Code)
                WEIB <- censorReg(censor.object ~
strata(Dose),data=Censor.Data)
        summary(WEIB)

When I enter this into Splus (v.6, Win2k), I get the following error
message:

                $"Censor.Data$Dose=0":
                Problem in print: argument right= not matched: print(x[[i]],
prefix = 
                        this[i], quote = ..1, right = ..2) 
                Use traceback() to see the call stack

However, when I change my call above to

        WEIB <- censorReg(censor.object ~ factor(Dose),data=Censor.Data)

there is no error message when I try to obtain a summary of the regression
object.  Is 
this an error in Splus?  Is a summary impossible to obtain when using the
"strata"
argument?  It doesn't appear that the error message has anything to do with
insufficient
data to estimate the model(s).
