I'm beginning to wonder if upgrading to 8.3.1 is a mistake. I had no 
trouble at all with 8.2.10, but many problems with 8.3.1. My latest 
issue follows.

When I update a table (using C-u C-c *, or C-u C-c C-c, or M-x 
org-table-recalculate), the table doesn't update and I get the following 
error message:

   Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, (4)

The number in parentheses varies depending on the table. Here are two 
examples of table formulas I have, formulas which worked perfectly until 
I upgraded to 8.3.1:

   #+TBLFM: $tot=vsum(@<<..@>>>);%.2f

   #+TBLFM: $13=vsum($3..$12);%.1f::$qs=$q1+$q2;%.1f

I can provide example tables if necessary.

I tried the example table given in section 3.5.10 of the documentation 
and I get the same error.

Error message: Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, (6)

I will appreciate any help with this issue. If it can't be fixed, I will 
have to downgrade to 8.2.10.
