That was it. Strange, I had to put this after « \starttext » to get it run.

I'm totally right with you. I tried to did this because it's the way I
find it on the paper book. But it's quite hugly and strange.

Sadly S. Beckett books are still under copyright, but I can promis
that the result is quite perfect.
