Dear knights,

The following works in mkii but not mkiv:

=====================
\starttext
test

\blank[2\bodyfontsize]

test
\stoptext
=====================

=====================
! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).

system          > tex > error on line 8 in file bodyfontsize.tex: Illegal

Thnx and
