As far as I can judge the current version does not yet benefit from 
our discussion concerning the runs under OSX.

"ConTeXt  ver: 2005.03.02" (pragma site calls it 2005-02-03 [?] 15:19 
) doesn't include the changes that Patrick (no more "8 runs") found 
out:

sub FlushFiles
   { print TUO "%\n" . "% $Program / Files\n" . "%\n" ;
     foreach $File (sort keys %Files)
       { print TUO "% $File ($Files{$File})\n" }
     print TUO "%\n" ;
     $NOfFiles = keys %Files ;

"texutil.pl" is untouched.

I guess Hans is still verifying this perl hassle?
