[R] unexpected behaviour of 'curve' function

Dear all,
curve(x^3*(1-x)^7, from = 0, to = 1)
works as expected but, omitting the "xlim" or the "to"
and "from" arguments and calling "curve" more than once:
par(mfrow = c(2,2))
for (i in 1:4)
curve(x^3*(1-x)^7)
gives an expected (al least to me) result.
Note also that a "pu" object is returned by curve
> pu
[1] -0.1802445 1.1802445
The behaviour is reproducible with both R 2.0.0
and R 2.0.1
I can see that a promise of evaluation of "pu"
is made within curve but I cannot understand completely
what happens.
Thanks in advance,
Stefano Guazzetti
