Thank you Duncan.

I tried with:
* using R version 2.14.0 RC (2011-10-24 r57417)
* using platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit)

But I still get the errors for verbatim multiline and the strange error 
if an error occurs in \Sexpr.
Is your patch included in this version? I will try now with 
R-rc_2011-10-27_r57452.tar.gz.
