Is this a bug in the verbatim.sty ( {v1.4i} {92/01/20} {91/12/18}),
or am I missing something?  The following works fine:

\documentstyle[verbatim]{article}
\title{Nice Title}
\author{me \\ {\tt casterln@are.berkeley.edu} }
\begin{document}
\maketitle
Hello, \verb|everyone|.
\end{document}
 
But if I change the author line to use \verb:

	\author{me \\ \verb|casterln@are.berkeley.edu| }

I get a missing } error.  Indicating that the verb is not picking
up the ending character.  I never know how much of the error message
to send along, but here is what I'm seeing.  Any help appreciated.

Gary
