The files were saved in an earlier version of R, which used NULL to 
indicate the base environment.  R is telling you that NULL is not a 
legal environment.  It should be automatically converted to baseenv().

In a number of cases, people used NULL to indicate an empty environment 
(even though there was no such thing when NULL was used); if that's true 
for your code, then you'll need to fix it.  emptyenv() now gives you an 
empty environment if that's what you really want.
