startregister produces strange page range ("1-2-3")

startregister produces strange page range ("1-2-3")

[Sanjoy Mahajan]

With the following minimal file, the index entry for Knuth has the
strange page range "1-2-3" rather than "1-2, 2-3".  Adding \input knuth
a few times in between the two start..stopregister stanzas gives a
correct page range (so maybe that change hides the problem).

I'm using ConTeXt 2008.10.31 (Mk II) from the Debian unstable packages.
The live context (2009.03.06) produces a blank index with the pdftex
engine, so I'm CC'ing Patrick in case that problem is separate.

\starttext

\startregister[index][Knuth]{Knuth}
\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth }
\stopregister[index][Knuth]

\startregister[index][Knuth2]{Knuth}
\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth }
\stopregister[index][Knuth2]

\completeindex

\stoptext

The context did not receive an update for quite some time. I will take a
look into that on sunday.

The context live is now 2009.04.28. I don't know if this helps, but at
least it is now updated daily again.
