Well, this should work,
\starttable[|*{4}{|}]
\NC test \VL test \NC test \NC etc \NC \FR
\NC test \VL test \NC test \NC etc \NC \MR
\NC test \VL test \NC test \NC etc \NC \LR
\stoptable
but ... i found out that the error recovery mechanism does not count those
repetitive cells.
I'll send you a slightly adapted core-tab.tex (goes into context/base); you
need to regenerate the format
