I respectfully disagree.  If the data were in fact longitudinal data,
with missing observations, one valid scenario would be to halt, which
is what is happening.  

Maybe a na.omit flag would be appropriate for plot?  (is there one?
I'm just speculating, not having easy access to R or Splus today).
