st: weights with Gaussian Kernel in lpoly, Stata 11

Dear Statalist users,
In a nonparametric regression using the lpoly command, I would like to
put different weights on observations.
However, when I want to use the Gaussian Kernel, I get the following error:
cross(): 3200 conformability error
_lpoly_work(): - function returned error
<istmt>: - function returned error
For all the other kernels, the option [aw] runs.
Could you tell me if there is something special with the Gaussian kernel
or if it is a bug in the lpoly ?
I'm using Stata 11.
Here is the code I used:
set obs 300
drawnorm x3 e
gen x32=x3^2
gen y=x3+2*x32+e
gen d=uniform()
lpoly y x3 [aw=d], kernel(gaussian)
lpoly y x3 [aw=d], kernel(epan2)
Already many thanks for your answer.
Best,
Nicolas Debarsy
