Hello,
Having just installed ConTeXt (NT, MikTeX), I found a strange thing in
the produced document (BTW, everything worked fine on Unix, this
appears only on my NT installation) from the install notes. I mean,
texexec'ing a file containing
\starttext
\framed{blabla}
\stoptext
I get extra "(2)"'s before my text.
What I actually get is
(2)(2)(2)(2)(2)(2)(2)(2)(2)(2)(2)
blabla
(with blabla framed, of course).
I tried several other mini documents, and the two's appear randomly.
The output is:

what happens with

maybe something is corrupted, you can fetch the beta from our site if needed
>(with blabla framed, of course).

I get the two's alone indeed. I don't think my ConTeXt stuff is
corrupted, because the same files, installed on my NetBSD partition,
worked perfectly. I suppose the problem comes from either MikTeX or
Cygwin.

I will, thank you.

I hade the same problem, and I discovered that it is due to the cygwin
version of perl.
If you use emacs to open the <jobname>.tuo file you can notice extra ^M at
the end of each line.
Hope this help

Well, this does seem to be the problem, but I haven't been able to fix
it. To check whether the \r characters were doing some mischief, I
compiled a file, say (file.tex)
\starttext
This is a test
\stoptext
Then I removed the \r characters from the file.tuo, and compiled again
with texexec --once file.tex. The result was that there was no twos.
However when the same process was done _without_ removing the
characters from file.tuo, the twos were present.
Unfortunately the problem has persisted even when I used Active state's
perl. Any suggestions?

Thanks. Indeed the two's are because of cygwin version of perl.
Uninstalling it, and then installing Activestate activeperl does remedy
the problem.
