R help - Dec 1998 - Scoping bug!?

Hello - any suggestions?!

"fun" <-  function (a1,a2,a3)  {
...
 x<-rnorm(50)
 a<-locfit(~x)
...
}

does not work, (Error: Object "x" not found) but
 x<<-as.matrix(mm[Pc+1])
instead, does!
When typing the two lines directly at the prompt - everything is ok.
I?m using R 63.0 on i586 with Linux, SUSE 5.2.
Thanks for any help -

Marcus

Can we have more details: I get (current release version,

R> f
function (a1, a2, a3) 
{
    x <- rnorm(50)
    a <- locfit(~x)
    a
}
R> f(1,2,3)
