abbrev mode and AucTeX - defining TeX-mode specific abbrev-table

[dnquark]

Section 8 of EmacsWiki page on AucTeX states this:

By default, AUCTeX shares its abbreviations with the major mode text-
mode. ..... Here is how to define abbreviations that work in auctex
modes only, without interfering with the standard text-mode:

 (define-abbrev-table 'TeX-mode-abbrev-table (make-abbrev-table))

However, this command when put in my .emacs results in an error
Wrong type argument: listp, [ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0]

Can someone shed some light on how to properly define TeX-mode-
specific abbrev-table?..
