[Tex/LaTex] supertabular always results in ‘Misplaced \noalign’ error

supertabular

I'm trying to use the package supertabularin order to be able to break long tables in twocolumn mode (cf. the answer to this question). But I always end up with the following error when compiling:

 Misplaced \noalign.
\@tabletail ->\noalign 
                       {\global \let \@savcr =\\ \global \let \\=\org@tabula...
l.9 \end{supertabular}

I assume I'm making some very basic mistake here, but I can't figure out what it is. Here's a MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{supertabular}
\begin{document}
\begin{supertabular}{l l}
First column & Second column\\
First column & Second column\\
First column & Second column
\end{supertabular}
\end{document}

supertabular requires all rows to end in \\ (with normal tabular the last ones doesn't need it, although you could supply it there too). So add \\to the last row.
