The column names of the data.frames given to rbind must all be
permutations of one another. E.g.,
> rbind(data.frame(A=1:3,B=11:13), data.frame(B=14:17, A=4:7))
A B
1 1 11
2 2 12
3 3 13
4 4 14
5 5 15
6 6 16
7 7 17
but not
> rbind(data.frame(A=1:3,B=11:13), data.frame(B=14:17, C=104:107))
Error in match.names(clabs, names(xi)) :
names do not match previous names
