figuretext in columns

[Michael Guravage <guravage@nlr.nl>]

I am attempting to typeset a document in two columns. The contents are 
organized as subjects, i.e. '\subject', and several subjects should employ a 
graphic in the style of a figuretext.  Both columns and figuretext work fine 
separately, but not together; at least not the way I combine them. Here is an 
example of what does not work:

\useexternalfigure[small seal][stempel_255.png][width=40pt, method=png, 
frame=off]
\starttext
  \startcolumns[rule=off, n=2, tolerance=verytolerant]
    \input tufte
    \startfiguretext[left][]{none}{\externalfigure[small seal]}
      \input tufte
    \stopfiguretext
  \stopcolumns
\stoptext

I have tried several alternatives, e.g. vbox, etc., but without success. I 
would appreciate hearing from anyone with any advice on how to proceed.

Regrds,

Michael
