Ted Harding: But you can also do these with 'any' and 'all', e.g. any(v==TRUE).
Thomas Lumley: or any( (v==TRUE)==TRUE), or any( ((v==TRUE)==TRUE)==TRUE)... Or, perhaps, any(v). Lewis Carroll wrote a nice piece on this theme.

You say yourself it wasn't reproducible. So it could have been anything that "crashed" your R, cosmic radiation, a bolt of lightning reversing a bit in your computer memory, ... :-)

If we do that, I predict that the total amount of r-help time wasted on it will exceed the CPU time saved by orders of magnitude.
