Why do you even have this file around anymore? You have been told that  
it is corrupt and that trashing it is the way to go forward.

(I suppose you could the error message regarding the missing `vars`  
package and see if that restores civil order, but if .Rdata doesn't   
have useful information that would be difficult to rebuild then ....  
just trash it.)
