serialize does not work as expected

Sigbert Klinke 
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
