Hmm.. and nobody has been able to reproduce your problem, right? IIUC, currently you are suggesting that [on Windows], if you do saveRDS(rawdata, file="rawdata.rds") the resulting file is does not work with readRDS() on Linux. What again are your R versions on the two platforms? Could you dput() -- provide a (short if possible) version of rawdata where that problem occurs ?
