Non-printing macro disturbs line justification.

Non-printing macro disturbs line justification.

[John R. Culleton]

I did a big project in Context and becuse I wanted to use the special 
features of eplain's interface to makeindex I wrote my own indexing 
macro. Every place I inserted a call to this macro extra space 
appeared at that point.  Here is my macro:

\def\sidx#1{\write\ind{\\indexentry{#1}{\the\pageno}}}

I had to retreat to the regular Context indexing tag.  Can someone 
spot the flaw in my definition?

Don't know if it's significant, but what if you use \slash
instead of \\ ?
