Look closer! The "payload" is the five bytes around 0000060 and they
don't seem at all similar to me. So save() is to blame.

BTW, I'm redirecting this back to R-bugs. It is not a good idea to
take this kind of stuff to private email, for various good reasons in
general, but particularly so in this case since I don't run OSX!
