[Rd] issue with Rd2pdf and \Sexpr in Rd files

Hello,

Sorry to repeat myself, but I was wondering if anyone had taken a look at this.

Because of this problem, reference manuals are not being created for
many Bioconductor packages (any package where there is a \Sexpr in an
.Rd file).

Thanks in advance--we appreciate your help very much.
Dan
