A crash would certainly be an annoying "side effect" ;-)

As Stepan explained, data.frame objects like most objects in R should 
never be modified in-place. If you're looking for a data-frame-like 
structure with a reference semantic where in-place modifications are 
allowed, please take a look at the data.table package.
