Thanks a lot, Alex and Austin!!!

I had not realized the impact of different kernel choices for this,
but have now been able to verify also on two other datasets that
-rd outcome z, z0(0) bwidth(z,-B,B) mbw(100) kernel(rectangle)- does
indeed give me the same estimate as
- reg outcome D0 z D0_z if inrange(z,-B,B)-.

(I still had an older version of -rd- anyway, where use of the
rectangular kernel was no problem, but it's also great to know that
this will now also work again with the most recent version when I
download that!
