Don't know ... a simple reproducible example would help ...

(Some really really trivial things I tried worked, for example:

z = rexp(100)
f1 = factor(rep(1:5,each=20))
f2 = factor(rep(1:2,each=50))
event = rep(1,100)
library(survival)
s1 = survfit(Surv(z,event)~f1)
s2 = survfit(Surv(z,event)~f2)
plot(s1)
lines(s2,col=2,type="s")
