Hi Uwe,
This is not a problem under Vista, using "a" development version (mine now
somewhat outdated).
Mark, as others have reported and debugged so far and you can see on the
lists, the problem is more serious than I thought it is and it is
probably also a problem under R-devel and here are just some nice lucky
circumstances that we do not observe obvious miscalculations any more.
Best,
Uwe

This is a CRITICAL bug!!! I have verified it in R 2.8.1 for mac
and for windows. The problem is with loess degree=0 smoothing.
For example, try the following:
x <- 1:100
y <- rnorm(100)
plot(x, y)
lines(predict(loess(y ~ x, degree=0, span=0.5)))
This is obviously wrong.
Obvious? How? I don't see anything particularly odd (on Linux).
Neither did I on linux; but the OP mentioned mac and windows.
On windows, on running that code, the lines() command added a lot of
vertical lines; most spanning the complete window but some only part.
Executing the code a second time (or in steps) gave sensible
results.
My guess would be that some memory is not correctly allocated or
initialised. Or is it something like an object with storage mode
"integer" being passed to a double? But then, why doesn't it show on
linux?
Happy bug hunting. If my guess is correct, then I have no idea how to
track down such things under windows.....
Cheers,
Berwin

Please can you folks try under R-devel (to be R-2.9.0 in a couple of
weeks) and report if you still see it. I do not under R-devel (but do
under R-release), so my guess is that something called by loess() has
been fixed in the meantime.
Moreover it is not the plot stuff that was wrong under R-2.8.1 (release)
but the loess computations.
