R help - Jun 2004 - hist, lines, rug

Hello,
 
I'm trying to plot a historgram with a density plot superimposed:
 
hist(x, seq(-1, 1, by = 0.1), prob = T, col = "blue")
lines(density(x,  bw = 0.1))
rug(x)
 
I don't want to add rug(x) but the histogram will not be plotted unless
rug(x) is there. It does not work if the "hist" line alone is present.
Can you help?
Thanks,
Kim

No, as 

x <- runif(1000, -1, 1)
hist(x, seq(-1, 1, by = 0.1), prob = T, col = "blue")
lines(density(x,  bw = 0.1))

works for me.  Please give us a fully reproducible example (what is x? 
what version of R? what graphics device? ...).
