He sent me a patch, but I didn't know how to compile the program, and I never tested it since then. Hans claimed that version 3.33 worked for him (and others approved that downgrading worked), but it didn't work for me, since I would need an older GS version as well. Here some infinite loop occurs when I call pstoedit -ssp -dt -f mpost mpy-bla-mpgraph.pdf mpy-bla-mpgraph.tmp (which is what ConTeXt does in line 328 of makempy.pl) I have no dea whether that's pdtoedit's or ghostscript's problem. I hope that the author of pstoedit will reply and figure out what the problem could be.
