Hi Hans, Jaroslav Hajtnar (in czech TeX list) encountered the problem with \input primitive redefinition. He uses a macro package for comma separated value file (CSV) inclusion. It redefines some catcodes and \endlinechar before start reading such file by \input. The problem is that during reading CSV the reading is interrupted by reading another file like \readfilename ->pdfr-ec (c:/TeXLive2005/texmf-context-a/tex/context/base/pdfr-ec.tex ConTeXt macro \input takes care about catcodes but not about \endlinechar so in this situation the file pdfr-ec is read with wrong \endlinechar which causes error. We believe that system solution is the ConTeXt takes care about \endlinechar when automatically starts reading some standard files. Please Hans can you look at it? Thanks Vit ------------------ Minimal demo attached. As a result of this problem, see the '00000' in the lower left page corner. Actually it is character ^^X (0x18, part of per-cent/per-mil char) which is used as \endlinechar delimiter.
