The attachment is a screen = shoot

System: MacOS 10.5.5
Emacs: GNU Emacs 22.2.50.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.4.0, Carbon = Version 1.6.0)
Org-mode version: version 6.09

I = am not familar with lisp so I can not look into the code, is this = a bug of org-mode or tbl? maybe this is because the length of multi-byte = character is not calculated correctly?

Thanks.
