forbidden filenames in context?

forbidden filenames in context?

[Roger Mason]

Hello,

I have two identical files, one named main.ctx.tex and the other
tmp.ctx.tmp.  The latter was made by copying the former.  Both files
contain just this:

\starttext

\stoptext

%%% Local Variables: 
%%% mode: context
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End: 

tmp.ctx.tex compiles fine, but main.ctx.tex fails with this error:

system          : main.ctx.top loaded
(./main.ctx.top) (./main.ctx.tuo) (./main.ctx.tuo) (./main.ctx.tuo)

Are some filenames forbidden in Context?

Puzzled,

Roger

ctx suffixes are kind of special (depends a bit how used, but as part of 
workflows context will read them as xml files and lookup mapped names) 
and tmp is used for buffers and such (but normally the buffer name is 
prefixed); another situation may occur when tmp is used to save the top 
file (texexec options)

depends on what is read from the tuo file, hard to see what happens 
without example

texexec.tex (and I think texexec.top).

I can't reproduce this at the moment.  If it happens again I'll send
the tuo file.

Thanks,
Roger
