I'd seen a similar problem but didn't manage to catch it before it slithered away. But I'm pretty sure it used to work (perhaps with an August 06 release).

Worst case as an emergency fix you could pick up the table module from the texsis suite: TXSruled.tex. I use it all the time in plain tex and pdfetex. It will work in Context too. Here is a sample: \input TXSruled.tex ... \ruledtable VENDOR \cr John Culleton \hfill\crnorule Able Indexers and Typesetters\hfill\crnorule 2401 Haight Avenue\hfill\crnorule Eldersburg, MD 21784 \hfill \endruledtable I find this style of coding less cumbersome than the one adopted for Context, with all the capitalizations etc. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

Starting from your example, the following was the smallest file I could find showing the same problem (using the latest beta):

\def\room{\starttable[|r|l|]}

i've cleaned up some of the | code and due to a change in load order this table in def was broken; i hope the latest beta fixes it
