I tried your example and indeed there are no horizontal lines in the second
tabulate. - I checked then may latest document, where I have such
tabulations included. And indeed there are no horizontal lines too. The
mentioned document was compiled on 19-09-2003 before the update to the
latest beta version on 20-09-2003. - Unnoticed this problem was already
present in the previous beta-version.
