Oh, those .. floats! I have a rather large float which leaves nearly no 
room for text on the page. The problem: nearly - since context puts a 
single line of text below the float! According to the manual, the nlines 
parameter has a default value of 4, so this should not happen. Setting

\setupfloats[nlines=10]

has no effect, I still get this single line (as well as other floats with 6 
and 8 lines below...)

Anybody any ideas what is wrong?

I tried to put the float on a page of its own via the placement key 'page', 
but then, as I reported some days ago, context immediately starts a new 
page where \placefigure occurs in my input file. This is more what I would 
expect from 'here'.
