The Design package is incompatible with updates to the survival package 
(version 2.35 and higher) that were made for version 2.9.0. It calls some 
internal fitting functions (coxreg.fit, agreg.fit) whose arguments have changed.

According to the CRAN checks, about a dozen other packages were also affected 
by other changes in the update, but most just give an error message rather than 
crash. Maintainers of all the packages have been notified and given my best 
guess at the reason for their specific incompatibility (and an offer of further 
assistance if necessary)

You may need to downgrade to version 2.34 of the survival package until Design 
is updated.

Dear Prof Harrell and everyone,

R version 2.8.1 and 2.9 alpha



For the last 3 days, after updating R, my two computers have been facing
problems when running existing and runable R commands that involves with
Design package



I attempt to use 'survest', but I failed all the times with R (both 2.8.1
and 2.9 alpha) being shut down immediately with following error report
messages.

AppName: rgui.exe AppVer: 2.90.48212.0   ModName: survival.dll

ModVer: 0.0.0.0   Offset: 00007749



However, if I run these commands on other computers which have not been
updated for 2 week, they run OK



Could you please consider the matter and give me advice



I am looking forward to hearing from you soon
