the testfile was:

    \enableregime[utf]
    \usemodule[pictex,chemie]
    \setupoutput[pdf]
    %\setupchemical[axis=on, frames=on]
    \par Substituent A
    \startchemical
    \chemical[ONE,SB4,SB6,Z0][O]
    \stopchemical

with a file, which is a little bit bigger i get the following (an no 
output is generated):

     Randomizer initialized to 1431757445. [MP chemie-bigger-mpgraph.4000]
    [MP chemie-bigger-mpgraph.3999] [MP chemie-bigger-mpgraph.3998]
    [MP chemie-bigger-mpgraph.3997] [MP chemie-bigger-mpgraph.3996]
    [MP chemie-bigger-mpgraph.3995])
