I created a book that strangely renders with an entirely blank page. There =
are tons and tons of macros, in dozens of files defined before the document=
 starts, but the document itself starts quite simply with a title page set =
inside \startfrontmatter. How can I identify what types of preamble informa=
tion would be causing an entire blank page to render before the document ev=
en begins?

This minimum working example won't show me the error, but it does show I si=
mply have \starttext followed by my title and nothing is between that shoul=
d be rendering an entire blank page.
--Joel
My minimum working example is here:

\definemakeup[titlepage][align=3Dmiddle]

\definealternativestyle[titlestyle][\ss\bfd][]
\definealternativestyle[subtitlestyle][\ss\bfb][]
\definealternativestyle[authorstyle][\ss\tfa][]

\starttext % <-- there is no code between \starttext and \startfrontmatter =
below.
