Yes Wolfgang, I know about this; I am stupid I did not have this in mind 
detecting the error message.

My ConTeXting is never-ending fight with strange behaviour/version 
dependency/bugs. This fight is a adventurous pleasure on one hand but 
sometimes also time-consuming pain on the other one. I am feeling a bit 
paranoid of that to being view a bug even where there no one is.

Please do not read this as a complain. ConTeXt is too complicated piece 
of software that is why it is understandable. Problem (?) is it is still 
rapidly developed. Before some stabilization might bring nearer another 
reorganization/development (e.g. MKIV) fires :) Perhaps c'est la vie.

Best
Vit

P.S. Thanks also to Hans for his answer.
