This is getting more strange.

I normally copy from the shared folder to the appropriate directory 
using Dolphin, the KDE file manager.  If instead I use the standard bash 
cp command, no corruption happens -- at least with the limited testing I 
have done.  There also seems to be no problem copying from Linux to 
Windows.  I installed R-3.5.1 for Windows just to eliminate that 
possible issue.

However, R has *something* to do with it because it was used to make the 
.rds file.  Just how the relationship between the name of the R object 
and the name of the .rds file comes into it, I can't imagine.

Thanks for the suggestion William.
