This is strange, considering that the cumulative Cox-Snell residuals are
always stored in the last observation (chronologically) within each subject
ID. As a result, ultimate failure or censoring for the subject is preserved
when -stset-ting the cumulative residuals.
If Emelda still feels that something inappropriate is occurring with her
data, she can email them to me for closer inspection.
