So it is time to ask the maintainers of the package and the cited URL 
(CCing both) to update at least one of them (package or 
http://www.herine.net/locfit/start.html)

While the web page states the last update is "(December 16, 2004 
version)", the version on CRAN is locfit_1.1-9.tar.gz dated 14-Sep-2004.
