I'm beginning to wonder if upgrading to 8.3.1 is a mistake. I had no
trouble at all with 8.2.10, but many problems with 8.3.1. My latest
issue follows.
When I update a table (using C-u C-c *, or C-u C-c C-c, or M-x
org-table-recalculate), the table doesn't update and I get the following
error message:
Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, (4)
The number in parentheses varies depending on the table. Here are two
examples of table formulas I have, formulas which worked perfectly until
I upgraded to 8.3.1:
#+TBLFM: $tot=vsum(@<<..@>>>);%.2f
#+TBLFM: $13=vsum($3..$12);%.1f::$qs=$q1+$q2;%.1f
I can provide example tables if necessary.
I tried the example table given in section 3.5.10 of the documentation
and I get the same error.

Error message: Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, (6)
I will appreciate any help with this issue. If it can't be fixed, I will
have to downgrade to 8.2.10.
