Sorry, it should have been:

	r.mapcalc "$out = eval(heading = atan(x() - $xc, y() - $yc), ...

Paul's suggestion should work.

The input to r.mapcalc has to be of the form "name = expression", or a
sequence of such e.g. "name1 = expression1 ; name2 = expression2".

Assignments at the top level are treated differently to assignments
within an expression. An assignment at the top level creates a new
map, while assignments within an expression don't.
