Missing number error, related to setupcolumnsetlines

[Lars Huttar <lars_huttar@sil.org>]

Hello,
I've got a "Missing number error, treated as zero". I've whittled the
problem code down to this minimal example:

    \definecolumnset [abbcolumn] [n=2,distance=5mm,balancing=yes]

    \setupcolumnsetlines[abbcolumn][1][1][60]
    \setupcolumnsetlines[abbcolumn][1][2][60]

    \starttext
    \startcolumnset[abbcolumn]
    foo
    \stopcolumnset
    \stoptext


By contrast, if I remove the \setupcolumnsetlines commands, the error
goes away. (But I think I need those commands, in case the text has more
than 60 lines.)

Also, if I run the example shown on this page
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupcolumnsetlines
which seems very similar to mine, it works fine; no errors.

Based on the latter working example, I tried adding the following to my
minimal example that fails:

	\switchtobodyfont[small]
or
	\setupcolumnsetstart[abbcolumn][1][1][1]
	\setupcolumnsetstart[abbcolumn][1][2][1]


but neither one solved the problem.

Here is more of the error output I received when running TeX on the
minimal example shown at the start of this email:

! Missing number, treated as zero.
