Re: staticMPfigure problem with \runMP[TEX]graphicsfalse

I used the same test file:

\starttext

\startstaticMPfigure{fig:ellipse}
  path p;
  p := fullcircle scaled 2in yscaled 0.5;
  label(btex hello etex, origin);
  draw p;
\stopstaticMPfigure

\placefigure[right,none]{}{\usestaticMPfigure[fig:ellipse]}

\input tufte

\stoptext


No luck with ver: 2007.01.04 17:37 MK II.  With all three settings
(the two runMP... ones and shell_escape) false, the static figure is
about 1pt wide.  The tufte text has a slight indentation in the right
margin to make room for it.

With all three settings true, it works fine.

With the run* settings true but shell_escape false, the whitespace
allocated is a block for a 'dummy' rectangle (with grey background).

So it looks like the same behavior as before.

With all the settings false, this is the texexec.tex produced:

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\global \loadfontfileoncetrue \readfile {cont-en.tmp}{}{}\starttext
\startMPpage


beginfig(1);

path p;
p := fullcircle scaled 2in yscaled 0.5;
label(btex hello etex, origin);
draw p;

endfig; \stopMPpage
\stoptext


Running 'texexec texexec.tex' produces the right pdf file, so I don't
know what's going on.  But off-list I'm sending you a tar.gz file that
has the two runs, each in a separate directory, and then the recursive
diff of them.
