All,

I have the strangest Metapost error. The attached file compiles with:

texexec section1figs

It compiles just fine. But if I take the last graphic in the file,  
copy it (everything between last \startMPpage...\stopMPpage pair,  
including \startMPpage ... \stopMPpage, then paste it at the end of  
the file,  then I get this error:

[10.1] [MP to PDF] (./section1figs-mpgraph.11) [11.1] [MP to PDF]
(./section1figs-mpgraph.12

l.2 %%BoundingBox: -63 -57 67 23594

?

Any ideas?

All,

The real funny thing is if I take the file section1figs.tex that just  
gave the error described below, save it as junk.tex, then texexec  
junk, it compiles fine.

Yuk!

I am totally stuck.

All,

Very weird. Deleted section1figs-mpgraph.12 and section1figs.tex  
compiled.

Huh?

Maybe because of some left over file from last compilation. A rule of 
thumb that I follow: Whenever something unexpected happens with 
context mp interaction, texutil --purgeall to see if the problem 
persists.

Careful if you have some *.mp files in the directory. They will be 
wiped out by this. Then just use textutil --purge filename

Your files compile fine here.
