\showmathcharacters loop

[Radhelorn]

Hello All!

This simple file sends pdfetex into endless loop:

\starttext
\showmathcharacters
\stoptext

Here is texexec --version:

  TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005

                texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
                texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004
                    tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.30.3-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)
                context : ver: 2005.08.31
                cont-en : ver: 2005.08.31  fmt: 2005.10.8  mes: english

\showmathcharacters used to work for some older version of ConTeXt, but 
now it didn't. As far as I remember my personal settings haven't changed.

I've done clean install of beta context 2005.09.14 with all default 
configuration (like wiki teTeX 3.0 Installation doc suggests). Results 
is still the same, but default teTeX 3.0 context (2005.01.31) works fine.

So, maybe there is some way to overcome this bug? Maybe temporarily use 
some other engine to generate characters list?

If solution needs more than just some command, then I think I shall wait 
for the update, so not bother.
