     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.
