In all forms of TeX it is my custom to start with a brief main file and
call the various components of the document into the input stream with
\input statements. The termination of the document is in the main file
with a \stoptext statement.
This works well with pdftex documents and also with
MKII documents. But it fails with MKIV documents. The Context program
will read and use an inserted program but will not return to the main
text stream in the file that did the inputting. It just displays an *
and hangs. Are there new rules in MKIV about breaking up a document
into separate files and inserting these in sequence via \input
statements?

Con you provide a minimal example? This works fine:
\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext
