No. My original example had the tabulate definition '[|p(5cm)|p|]'. A
simple '[|p|p|]' fails in exactly the same way.

When I specify this, I end up with a layout like this:

* item one * item two

Using three items I end up with three items on one line.

It seems that there is no end of line found for the items. Even this
fails:

% interface=en output=pdftex 
\starttext
\starttabulate[|p|]
\startitemize[1]
\item one
\item two
\stopitemize
\stoptabulate
\stoptext

The error, in this case, is exactly the same: I get the items on one
line, with the text and the points overtyped.

Somehow the itemize ends up with a height of a single line. The attached
image, all 550 bytes of it, shows the error in the output.

No variation on input seems to make a difference here. Er, if someone
else can run the above fragment and produce correct output (a /vertical/
list of two items), let me know and I will stop bugging y'all. :)
