Hmm, don't know what's the latest 'zip'. I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 and installed
and updated ConTeXt Minimals using the first-setup.sh script. The included
XeTeX says:

'This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.999.7 (Web2C 7.5.6)'

I can reproduce this error with a small test file:

----8<----------------
\starttext

Bla Bla Blubb ...

\stoptext
----8<----------------

I've attached the resulting PDF-File and the log file.
