Hi Erik, Yes this is what I was trying and your example or the one of luke is working fine with me.
So now I'm not sure if this is due to an environment which takes too much space. The environment troubling me has 644276 entries. Is this too much?

And also provide your sessionInfo() ? I am not able to replicate this. test <- new.env() assign("hi", pi, pos = test) save(test, file = "~/testenv.Rdata") does not give me an error. Is this basically what you're trying? -- Pflichtangaben gemäß Gesetz über elektronische Handelsregister und Genossenschaftsregister sowie das Unternehmensregister (EHUG): Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts Gerichtsstand: Hamburg Vorstandsmitglieder: Prof. Dr. Jörg F.
