The footnote command is "fragile" in LaTeX. That is, under circumstances
where it is removed (spacially) from the "area" under which it is working, it
will crash. The footnote here is leaving the tabbing environment.
The suggested fix is to "protect" it. Try \protect\footnote{...}.
This should work.
