Sorry, it took me a while because this is the computer in my office,  
from which I;ve been away for a while. I think I nailed it down: if I  
try to include a pdf image into a ConTeXt document


\starttext
  \externalfigure[Logo][width=56mm,height=20mm]
\stoptext

(with any pdf file) I get this error:

<./Logo.pdf
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [PDF object stream buffer=5].

!  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

The pdf file is OK; this error only occurs with pdftex 1.40.7 on  
powerpc (OS X, 10.5.2). The same file compiles fine with

luatex on powerpc and intel
pdftex 1.40.5 on powerpc and intel
pdftex 1.40.7 on OS X intel

All best

Thomas
