Error: ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [save size=5000]. Hi Vit,

your TeX run out of memory, you should increase the save size and the table should work.

Wolfgang Yuoops! You are right Wolfgang. Thank you.

I did not realize that I have a different memory setting in my old and new ConTeXt instalation and I suspected it was caused by macro recurse loops.

This is also the default value in my installation.

You should know tables are read into memory first and this will fill the save size, this works in plain TeX with pages spanning a few hundred pages but every cell in natural tables is also a \framed command and the definitions for table cells and framed are long and complicated.

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.
