I am not sure I understand your question. I get the following output from your code and it does not look like act.surv.time is repeated:
> m treat strata time censorTime act.surv.time censoring [1,] 1 1 0.8331923 0.65472393 0.65472393 1 [2,] 1 1 0.3389548 0.35319727 0.33895477 0 [3,] 1 1 0.9163048 0.27026015 0.27026015 1 [4,] 1 1 1.1228471 0.99268406 0.99268406 1 [5,] 1 1 0.2782769 0.63349326 0.27827691 0 So what is the problem?
