Table stuff hasn't changed.

It's a builtin function of the latest GNU Emacs I fear.

As a workaround you can try to put this in .emacs

(defun string-width (string)
        (string-bytes string))

This  could be faulty  with multibite  characters, anyway,  that's why
they developed string-bytes.

Unless for heavy  bandwidth problems I suggest to  upgrade to Emacs 20
(the mode  has some  problems wiht Emacs  21 when working  with server
side scripts, i.e. jsp)
