I get the error even on a simple file like:

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\starttext
This is a test.
\stoptext

If I insert a } when tex reports the error, it runs to the end and 
produces a good pdf.  However,
it does say "Don't change language in unprotected mode!"   My log file 
is attached.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Matt
