This means that you've introduced a syntax error when you did your 
edits.  The line number information is fairly useless:  R has 
concatenated all of the files together, you don't see the original line 
number.  Your best strategy is to look at where you made changes.

I'm hoping to improve the error reporting on parse errors in R 2.2, but 
time is flying by...
