This one's too low level for me -- I've no idea where to start
debugging it:

The latest ConTeXt Beta (2002.5.26) won't work with the 
mfpic package (0.5.0).

I've attached a minimal example, and the resultant log:

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
