Indeed! 'z' itself is not changed; it's something else that's corrupted,
since one can reproduce the bug by
apply(data.frame(a=0:9, b=10:19), 1, sum)
apply(data.frame(a=0:9, b=10:19), 1, "$", "a")
apply(data.frame(a=0:9, b=10:19), 1, sum)
##-> error ... invalid 'mode'
This also happens in "R-devel", since yesterday aka
"2.3.0 alpha".
