Some further remarks:
The problem is not in executing save.image as I get the same error when I
try to simply print out the function.
I managed to quit and save my workspace using
save(list = ls(all=TRUE), file = ".RData"); q("no")
On restarting R with the same workspace save.image works fine.
Even though I have managed to solve the problem for now, I would still be
interested in knowing why it happened so that I can avoid whatever it was
I did!
Thanks,
Angelo
