On occasion files including tables generate the message "zero field width" when formatted. The problem is caused by a table with a column in which the only actual entry is spanned to another column. Tbl calculates a width of zero for the column and passes this on to nroff which complains. The immediate solution is to put something in the column such as a space, or to give the column width explicitly.
