I tried out what you described with this code:

include misc.e
sequence like_table

like_table={{"one-a","one-b"},
            {"two-a","two-b"},
            {"three-a","three-b"},
            {41,42,43,44,45,46}}

puts(1,"R")
printf(1,"%4d",like_table[4][1])
printf(1,"%3d",like_table[4][2])
printf(1,"%3d",like_table[4][3])
sleep(3)
puts(1,"\n")
printf(1,"R%4d%3d%3d",{like_table[4][1],like_table[4][2],like_table[4][3]})
sleep(10)

...and here's what I got, which seems good:
R  41 42 43
R  41 42 43

I then replaced like_table[4] with:

{"41","42","43","44","45","46"}

...and got this:
R  52 52 52               (52 is the ascii code of '4')
R   0  0  0               (not sure why these are zeroes)

I tried both of these, as I wasn't sure what sort of data you were putting 
in like_table, and took a couple of guesses.

But in neither case did I get a causeway error.  This is EU2.2 on Win2000. 
It would seem that neither Eu nor your code is at fault.  Have you tried a 
good ol' reboot?  Got too many programs running?
