Dear Terry,
 When I hit cumic function (my saved command, it used to work previously), R
was suddenly shut down. Therefore, there is no error message. This happened
not only on my PC (window, service pack 3) but also on others from my
colleagues.
Regards
Nguyen Nguyen

  I don't see how this is related to survival.  I just checked the source
code 
to the cmprsk function, and it has no dependencies on my library.  As I
would 
expect, the cmprks function works as expected on our machines.
  Could you send a reproducable example?
