If the following is run with newtexexec, the text background on the
first page is black. On live.contextgarden.net it works ok. Another
candidate for the test suite?
\setupcolors[state=start]
\definecolor[red][r=1]
\definecolor[trwhite][s=1, t=.5, a=1]
\setupbackgrounds[state=repeat]
\defineoverlay[pagebg][\useMPgraphic{pagebg}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=pagebg]
\startuseMPgraphic{pagebg}
StartPage ;
fill Page withcolor \MPcolor{red} ;
fill Field[Text][Text] withcolor \MPcolor{trwhite} ;
StopPage ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\input tufte}
\stoptext

I _do_ get a nice pinkish background on both pages when I don't use
runtime graphics. Diagnosis: It looks like the specials get lost
somehow in the runtime version.
This file is certainly a good test case.

How does one use the old texexec in the standalone windows version? I tried with
texmfstart texexec.pl
and that looks like the old texexec output but the resulting pdf is
equally defective.

Hi Johan,
Have you changed any of the memory values in texmf.cnf recently?
(I suddenly remember I have)
Cheers,
Taco

I regenerated the formats with
texmfstart newtexexec --make --all
and after that, the problem was gone. Probably because texexec and
newtexexec read different variables from texmf.cnf.

Yes, I have increased the save size from 5000 to 15000 for a document
with random backgrounds.
