Subject: Code that run in Metapost but not in starMPcode enviroment

I'm trying to draw some random arrows using Metapost. For that I use a
piece of code from fpast that in found at stackexchange
<http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/179745/generating-random-arrows-in-tikz/180111#180111>
Unfortunately this code does not work in context (request for a solution
<http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/225864/metapost-error-related-with-context>)
because the freelabel() function. If I disable it the result is the
expected.
What is wrong with this code?

numeric u, nb_vectors, wd;
u := 1cm; % unit length
nb_vectors := 20; wd = .5;
boolean intersect; pair random_origin; color random_color; path candidate,
random_vector[];

vardef bb(expr p) =
save orig, extr; pair orig, extr; orig = point 0 of p; extr = point 1 of
p;
pair v,w; v = wd*unitvector(extr-orig)*u; w = v rotated 90;
(orig - v + w) -- (extr + v + w) -- (extr + v - w) -- (orig - v - w) --
cycle
enddef;

pickup pencircle scaled 2bp;
i = 1;

exitunless (i <= nb_vectors);
intersect := false;
random_length := u*(2+uniformdeviate(1));
random_angle := uniformdeviate(359);
random_origin := u*(uniformdeviate(wd*nb_vectors),
uniformdeviate(wd*nb_vectors));
random_color := (uniformdeviate(1), uniformdeviate(1),
uniformdeviate(1));
candidate := random_origin -- (random_origin +
random_length*dir(random_angle));
j := 1;
forever:
exitif (j = i) or (intersect = true);
if bb(random_vector[j]) intersectiontimes bb(candidate) <> (-1, -1):
intersect := true;
fi;
j := j+1;
endfor;
if intersect = false:
random_vector[i] = candidate;
drawarrow candidate withcolor random_color;
freelabel(btex $v$ etex, point .5 of candidate, point .5 of candidate
+ dir (random_angle + 90));
i := i+1;
fi;
endfor;
