Problems with "|" in {verbatim} after "s_tables"

Hi TEXers,

I use the "s_tables" macros in LaTeX to create tables.

The problem arises when I try to import some lines of plain ASCII 
containing the pipe character "|" into a {verbatim} environment later.

Each occurence of this character in {verbatim} produces error messages
like the follwing:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> ...   Text^^M     |  ^  ^^^M        ...

\@xverbatim #1\end{verbatim}->#1
                                \end [verbatim]
l.93 \end{verbatim}
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 

"|" has a special meaning inside a "stable" that seems to keep alive
outside (even within {verbatim} ) ...  Are there any ideas how to stop that?

Thanks in advance!
