[NTG-context] Why are some external PDF figures leading to a stack overflow error?

[NTG-context] Why are some external PDF figures leading to a stack overflow error?

I am making a book that includes a series of maps which I created in LibreOffice Draw, but exported as a lossless PDF. After recently making some improvements to the map files, but not the ConTeXt documents, I was surprised my document wouldn't compile anymore...I couldn't find any code errors and even reverted to older code from the day before that compiled fine yesterday. It seemed the PDFs themselves were making the errors, but the errors were inconsistent.. I deleted my ConTeXt install and downloaded the latest version of standalone, it still won't compile, but the errors are completely different. After a few tests I came up with this minimal code which throws the error:

\starttext
    \externalfigure[xmap1]

\stoptext
If I compile this, and xmap1.pdf is a PDF file in the same path, it outputs this error:
lua error       > lua error on line 4 in file ./test.tex:

This error isn't occurring for every PDF, some of them are rendering with no such error. I tried different export settings in LibreOffice Draw, but that seemed to have no impact. Some files render in ConTeXt and some throw this error.
What is happening?

Hi,

From the meeting: What happens if you do

 The file compiles and just has a grey empty box saying "name: unknownpicture".
If I replace xmap1.pdf with a JPG named xmap1.jpg and don't change the document otherwise, my document compiles just fine. The problem is I need high quality files, not a blurry JPG.

The unknownpicture was there to hint that you did not give an example
showing the problem. The compact= was an initial guess by an anonymous
participant at the meeting.

[NTG-context] Re: Why are some external PDF figures leading to a stack overflow error?

 If I add [compact=] it seems to be rendering the PDF. What does [compact=] do?

After recently making some improvements to the map files, but not the ConTeXt documents, I was surprised my document wouldn't compile anymore...I couldn't find any code errors and even reverted to older code from the day before that compiled fine yesterday. It seemed the PDFs themselves were making the errors, but the errors were inconsistent.. I deleted my ConTeXt install and downloaded the latest version of standalone, it still won't compile, but the errors are completely different. After a few tests I came up with this minimal code which throws the error:
