Error trying to add Table editor to .emacs

Question

I downloaded the Table editor for emacs table.el. I then edited my .emacs file to load the table file as follows

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/manual")
(load "table.el")
(require 'table)

Opening the emacs in debug-mode throws me the following error

Wrong type argument: integerp, (32 . 126)

Answer 1

According to emacs wiki table.el is provided with emacs since version 22...

I get the same kind of error by trying the sourceforge version, but the bundled version works fine. It is documented in emacs manual.
