cmprsk- another survival-depedent package causes R crash

Yes, there are other packages with incompatibilities with the new version of 'survival'.  The package maintainers for all the packages that fail R CMD check have all been notified and given suggestions for how to update. You can see which packages fail CMD check by looking at the CRAN check results linked from the package's CRAN page.

If you find that the change has caused problems for a package but hasn't caused a CMD check failure, then it would be helpful to report it, since we might not know.  Otherwise I think you can assume that an update is already on someone's to-do list.

Dear Prof Gray and everyone,

As our package developers discussed about incompatibility between Design and survival packages,  I faced another problem with cmprsk- a survival dependent packacge.
The problem is exactly similar to what happened to the Design package that when I just started running cuminc function, R was suddenly closed.
These incidents suggest that maybe many other survival dependent packages being involved the problem
Could you please consider the matter

My R version: 2.8.1
Window XP Service pack 3
