Hello,
I've stset survival data, and received these messages:
"      12  multiple records at same instant                     PROBABLE ERROR
            (risktime[_n-1]==risktime)
        22  obs. begin on or after (first) failure?"

I'd like to ask for help in understanding what is meant by "same instant".
And, since subjects were recruited over several years' time, I'm not 
sure why it would be a problem if observations begin on or after 
(first) failure.

Best wishes,
Michael McCulloch
