mutual color definition

mutual color definition

[Peter Rolf]

Hi,

while playing around with colors, I accidentally used two mutual color
definitions. Stupid thing to do, but shit happens. :-D

This example ends in an infinite loop.

%----------------------
\definecolor[foo][red]
\definecolor[bar][foo]

\starttext

\definecolor[foo][bar]
\color[foo] foo \color[bar] bar

\stoptext
%----------------------


Regards,  Peter

That's hard to catch but anyway you can't complain that you don't get 
what you asked for -)
