indeed, there has been some changes to the \column command:

\column
\column[yes]
\column[preference]

(you may try, in your version:

\def\column
   {\par
    {\testrulewidth\zeropoint\ruledvskip\teksthoogte}
    \penalty-200
    \vskip-\teksthoogte
    \prevdepth-\thousandpoint} % signals top of column

which equals yes)
