If I remember correctly, this is an old "bug" (google this newsgroup to
find the related threads). If you have only one column to display, you
should use *ColumnForm* (or *Column* in version 6) rather than
*TableForm*. For instance,
lst = {23, 24, 25, 26};
(* 5.2 and below *)
ColumnForm[Join[{"My List"}, lst]]
(* 6.0 only *)
Column[Join[{"My List"}, lst]]
