I downloaded ghostscript 8.63 but the pdf2ps  error persists. but the 
error goes away if I uses an earlier version of context, namely: 
TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
(tetex distribution.)
Therefore the problem lies in the recent Context I have been using, 
and not in ghostscript nor in my code. 

My curremt version of Context is:
ConTeXt  ver: 2008.05.21 15:21 MKII  fmt: 2008.9.25  int: 
english/english

The next previous version of Context I have also fails this test:

ConTeXt  ver: 2007.01.12 15:56 MKII  fmt: 2007.9.26  int: 
english/english
My test file at the moment is:

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\starttext
foo
\stoptext

I am testing on LInux Slackware 12. 
Perhaps Hans or Thanh would care to comment.
