Unwanted empty last page in doublesided document

Unwanted empty last page in doublesided document

[B. Tommy Jensen]

I am using Context mkII and have the following challenge:

I am using a doblesided layout and want to have an even total number of  
pages. The last chapter
should have an empty trailing page (if necessary) to add up to the right  
number.

The problem is that I always get an ODD number of pages, and there are  
_two_ empty
last pages at the end of the document. I have tried  
\installpagebreakhandler with
no effect.

The attached sample shows the problem - two empty pages at end. I would  
have expected
the document to stop at page 10, but there is an empty page 11 as well.

Does anyone have a clue here?

Regards,
Tommy Jensen

Sample text follows:


\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\starttext
\startbodymatter
\chapter[]{Kap 1}
\chapter[]{Kap 2}
\chapter[]{Kap 3}
\chapter[]{Kap 4}
\chapter[]{Kap 5}
\stopbodymatter

%-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Necessary to suppress emtpy last page in doublesided pagenumbering mode  
(no effect!)
\installpagebreakhandler{last}{}

\stoptext

That's a side effect of the marking (what place header texts in  
headers/footer) mechanism
and there is now elegant solution to prevent this but I posted a hack  
(brr) a while ago,
search for \setupsectionblock or empty last page in the mail archive  
to find it.
