Suddenly can't run context

[Bill Meahan <subscribed_lists@meahan.net>]

Something has changed on my system and I can't find it. Perhaps someone 
can point me where I should look.


I've had the texlive2012 installed since it came out and until a couple 
of days ago everything worked just fine. All of a sudden, things 
changed. I did nothing directly to the texlive distribution.

wwm@escherton$ context --version  gives the error output at the end of 
this note

wwm@escherton$ sudo context --version works just fine

wwm@escherton$ mtxrun --version works just fine as does mtxrun --script 
fonts --reload &c.

I created a new user.

context@escherton$ context --version works just fine

I deleted the texlive distribution  and re-installed it. No change. I've 
run sudo context --generate several times with no change in behavior. 
I've deleted the local .texlive2012 directory but since context won't 
run, it doesn't get recreated. I can set TEXMF and then context will run 
but it takes a much longer time than usual and the disk activity light 
is on almost solid.

Any ideas?
