framed text question

Hi,

I have a question regarding framed text.
To obtain framed verbatim text that breaks over pages, I use the macro
\definetextbackground. I have encountered a slight problem, however:
sometimes the upper part of the frame appears on the bottom of the
page with no text in it (because there's not enough room). The strange
thing is that if I comment out the setupcolors macro the problem
disappears (in the example that is).
I have included an example of this below. Run with texexec --pdf test.tex

The version of texexec I'm using is:

 TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005

               texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
               texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004
                   tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
               context : ver: 2005.01.31
               cont-en : ver: 2005.01.31  fmt: 2009.1.26  mes: english


Thanks in advance

Trychius

            the engineer, James Starr, had so long directed
            the works. For ten years these mines had been
            abandoned. No new seams had been discovered,
            although the soundings had been carried
            to a depth of fifteen hundred or even of
            two thousand feet, and when James Starr had
            retired, it was with the full conviction that
            even the smallest vein had been completely
            exhausted.
