serialize does not work as expected
Did you really conclude from looking at class that they were identical? Numeric mode sometimes makes it hard to distinguish integers from doubles, but they are different.

Hi, if I create a list with l <- list(1:3, as.numeric(1:3), c(1,2,3)) and applying lapply(l, 'class') lapply(l, 'mode') lapply(l, 'storage.mode') lapply(l, 'typeof') identical(l[[2]], l[[3]]) then I would believe that as,numeric(1:3) and c(1,2,3) are identical objects. However, lapply(l, serialize, connection=NULL) returns different results for each list element :( Any ideas, why it is like that? Best Sigbert
