But I have got the following:
In[4]:= pairs = Table[Random[], {5}, {2}];
0.0166667 Second  1308.612 KByte
In[5]:=   OutputForm[TableForm[pairs, TableSpacing -> {0, 5}]] >> "file"     
TableForm::posint: 
   Positive machine-size integer expected at position 2 in 
    TableForm[{{0.0397849, 0.797271}, {0.198567, 0.00697207}, 
      {0.183345, 0.557411}, {0.623224, 0.370224}, {0.10402, 0.939877}}, 
     TableSpacing -> {0, 5}].
General::stop: Further output of TableForm::posint
     will be suppressed during this calculation.

Is this because I still run 1.2 Release?
