Execution of larger blocks of pasted code often fails?

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. If the problem is caused by a restriction in one of the (software) components i'm using (OS, terminal etc), should the remaining of the pasted code simply be missing after the point where the error occurs? As can be seen from my example above the entire block of code is pasted and is executed by the R command line, although with errors from the point where the first error occured.
Looks like it is dropping characters when its input buffer runs full. That's pretty typical behavior for terminals (real and emulated).
Can it be that the paste mechanism i'm using (from GEdit to GNOME terminal on Ubuntu Linux) is adding control characters between pasting multiple blocks of code and these (invisible) characters are causing the problem?
