\placefloat[top]

\placefloat[top]

[Nigel King]

All,
The following minimal test does not seem to work on my set up
\starttext
\input knuth
\startbuffer
a table
\stopbuffer
\placetable
    [top]
    [fig:x]
    {caption}
    {\getbuffer}
\stoptext

If top is replaced by any other options then all is OK.

The error is shown up as

oeps, a = got lost when optimizing the code (page-one.tex)

\def\OTRONEsometopsfloat[#1]%
   {\ifdim\topinserted=\zeropoint
      \topofinserttrue
    \else
      \topofinsertfalse
    \fi

I added a close bracket at the end and placed the code at the beginning of
my testfile the result was a missing table?

My whole file is below for clarity. There is nothing obvious wrong in the
log.
