[R] dumping data objects

I am using R version 2.9.1 (2009-06-26) on Windows.

I am trying to dump some data objects from R so that I can 
subsequently import them into S-PLUS (version 6.2). Using dump("foo") 
appends Ls to integers, as explained in the documentation for deparseOpts.

Here is a simple example. I tired using

 > .deparseOpts(control="S_compatible")
[1] 128
 > dump("foo")

But still get:

C:\wqm\Run>cat dumpdata.R
foo <-
structure(list(Kilocycles = c(94L, 96L, 99L), Status = structure(c(2L,
2L, 1L), .Label = c("Censored", "Failed"), class = "factor"),
     Weight = c(1L, 1L, 2L)), .Names = c("Kilocycles", "Status",
"Weight"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c("1", "2", "3"))

I have also tried a number of different combinations of options to 
.deparseOpts, but the resulting file always has the appended Ls.

What am I missing?
