MPtoPDF error

MPtoPDF error

[Willi Egger]

Hi,

I wanted to compile a file which used to work without problems. Now I 
get a fatal error in MPtoPDF.

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.1 (Web2C 7.5.6) (format=cont-en 
2007.2.8)  8 FEB 2007 22:46
entering extended mode
\write18 enabled.
 (c:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/web2c/natural.tcx)
**Doekenbon.tex \emergencyend
(./Doekenbon.tex

ConTeXt  ver: 2007.01.23 13:32 MKII  fmt: 2007.2.8  int: english/english
.....
\@@layerboxGridBackground=\box158
\@MPG@@MPG@Doekenbon-mpgraph=\write7
\openout7 = `Doekenbon-mpgraph.mp'.

\openout6 = `Doekenbon-mpgraph.mpb'.

system(mpost  -progname=metafun -mem=metafun Doekenbon-mpgraph)...executed.

\@sg@\crossreferenceobject=\count214
[MP to PDF] (./Doekenbon-mpgraph.1
Runaway argument?
! Paragraph ended before \handleMPsequence was complete.
<to be read again>
                   \par


What might be the reason for this message?

this is a bug in the current metapost beta (which is already fixed by
Taco). Simply use the stable version (0.901) instead. A new beta will
(hopefully) be released this week.

I know that you are busy (as a bee), so 'real soon now' sounds pretty
good ;)
