I tried and my example code works at the beginning. After some changes
things run wild (only possible in TeX ;) ). Not even the 'long' form
worked any more.

So I went to contextlive and copied the simple test file. To my
astonishment it didn't work either. But more important, the log file
shows the same MetaPost error message I get, since ConTeXt swapped to
ruby (preventing me from updating). Testfile and context live log (html)
are attached.
If someone can solve this problem I would be very glad.

Greetings, Peter
