<<insert bug report here>>

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.
