I Hans,

I just sent a mail with a possible patch, before I read this answer from you :-)
As I say there, the patches work (at least for me) and I had updated context
mkii a few hours ago, so I don't know if the betas you mentioned have already
been installed...

Hope the proposed patches be helpful...
Thx very much for your answer.

Hi all,

Ok, here it goes. Atached are the files used in the test.

The problem as reported in the >> previous email << used
the file with the offending chars wrapped in a main file, which was just:

\starttext
\input zzz.tex
\stoptext

That is, the offending chars were in zzz.tex.

In that example I noticed the error because the cross-refs
in the equation numbering were not working.
The parsing of the .tui file by ruby 1.9.1 failed. Then I saw the errors.

ruby 1.9 internally is no longer 8 bit clean i.e. there is always an encoding (file as well as internal); there is no way to enforce this (there is the -E option but that is useless for 1.8)

i now open some files explicitly in binary mode; maybe that helps; i have no clue what happens with string manipulations later on

i always liked ruby but such fundamental changes (encoding, dropping functions etc) without renaming the program are a showstopper for me as one cannot predict what will be on the user's system

it looks like i have to convert the texutil part to lua (takes a few days and since i mostly use luatex it has a low priority)

i uploaded a beta for testing

Hans
