Does that help...

And it is 11.85 in Ubuntu Lucid. Sorry, I first have to figure out how
to convince my emacs to load my local cvs-auctex-checkout instead of the
system-wide one. Any hints?

Why should that be unsafe? For auctex or for latex?
You've probably read that putting characters after an \end{verbatim}
might result in losing these characters in the latex output. But with a
% I want to ignore them anyway. (With \usepackage{verbatim} there is not
such a problem. Also \usepackage{listings} has a more robust way to
recognize the ending string.

Auctex should not interpret comment signs in verbatim environments.

Well, I should put my last name, too. Otherwise other mailing list
readers get confused. But I'm so lazy. ;-)
