Brief investigation and summary:

After
1. updating with macTeX package on macOSX 10.4.9
2. even if I have update ConTeXt and regenerate formats (all, also  
with xetex)

my normal ConTeXt (texexec) is ok, my XeConTeX  (texexec --xtx) is  
broken

This is a test code (saved as utf-8)

\enableregime[utf]
\setuppapersize[S6][S6]
%\setupbodyfont[ss, 12pt]
\definetypeface[Optima][rm][Xserif][Optima]
\setupbodyfont[Optima]

\starttext

Here I'm working, with all you need: \crlf
òîèéàùç

Don't uncomment this

%\startitemize
%\item a malicious item
%\stopitemize

or this:
%$\to$
\stoptext

Uncommenting makes compilation fail with:

** WARNING ** Invalid CMap
** ERROR ** pdf_ref_obj(): passed invalid object.

Output file removed.


(More, XeTeX is still slow)

tested also from terminal

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who  
doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this  
guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with  
me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss  
Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.
