That is the very point of using -st- commands. This is what the
-failure- option in -stset- is for. The way the survival commands deal
with that is among others discussed here:

and in more detail:

If this is the reason you thought you wanted to delete those
observations than you definately should NOT do so.
Hope this helps,
