[R] load in 1.4.0 not working for me

[David Marimont]

I'm having trouble with save and load in R 1.4.0 (on RH 7.2) I originally
noticed this with a large R object, but it happens with a tiny one as well:

   > a <- c(1,2,3)
   > save(a,file="test.RData")
   > a1 <- load("test.RData")
   > print(a1)
   NULL

The file "test.RData" is created, and it does have something in it.  When
I tried saving a large object, I watched what was happening with xosview,
and there is some serious disk-writing happening.  When I tried loading,
there is some serious disk-reading happening.  But no object is returned.
Am I missing something obvious here?  Thanks.
