[R] Capturing coxph warnings and errors

[Daniel Brewer]

Hi,

I have enclosed the data load("coxtest.rdata") to get it into R.  Here
is the command line to produce the error

coxph(Surv(RecFollowUpTime,Rec)~values,data=test)

As you can see the values are almost all the same value, which is
probably causing the problem.
