[Rd] (PR#13180) Wrong behavior of lines.survfit for conf.int="only"

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Note that survival is a contributed package: only the maintainer can alter 
it (or at least, if someone else does the change will get lost -- it has 
happened before).  So it is not useful to report on it on R-bugs (see the 
FAQ and the posting guide).
