This came about from a question on Stack Overflow, where a user was loading an R Data file and seemingly there was nothing in it, and there were no warnings. I suspected maybe there really was nothing in it, and discovered an easy way to create empty R Data files without really trying. Turns out her file was over 400k bytes long and once she reinstalled R [yikes] it loaded... What was the real problem? Well we never found out!
