I concur that your example works. Attached is an example of a minimal
that does not for me. ConTeXt does its thing, invoking luatex which
quickly gets nasty and starts spinning the clock - endlessly allocating
memory until a 4GB system is run into the ground.

This is what I see:

$ context minimal.tex 

resolvers       | resolving | loading configuration file
'selfautodir:/share/texmf/web2c/contextcnf.lua'
resolvers       | resolving | loading configuration file
'/usr/share/texmf/web2c/contextcnf.lua'
mtx-context     | run 1: luatex

This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.71.0-2012030522 (rev 4364)

[***hangs at this point***]

I am using ConTeXt and LuaTeX packages off of Adam's PPA. These are
luatex version beta-0.71.0-2012030522 (rev 4364) under context version
2012.03.13 21:26 on amd64 hardware using Ubuntu Maverick.
