I get the same error using TL2008 on linux, so it looks like a bug in context. All is not lost, however, as your file does work using MKiV with the context minimal distro: $ context t [...] MtxRun | run 2: luatex --fmt="/Data/opt/tex/context/linuxtex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/e94a94633d1c5da1888b5ba67f423e84/formats/cont-en" --lua="/Data/opt/tex/context/linuxtex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/e94a94633d1c5da1888b5ba67f423e84/formats/cont-en.lua" "./t" (t.tex ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.15 09:41 MKIV fmt: 2008.9.27 int: english/english [...] mkiv lua stats : runtime - 8.756 seconds, 3 processed pages, 3 shipped pages, 0.343 pages/second ------------------------------------------------------------------------- So the solution lies somewhere between 2008.05 MkII and 2008.08 MkIV. Simpler documents do work using 2008.05 MkII in TL2008, but if you are starting out you may do better to focus on MkIV. -- George N.
