Hi all,
can someone test the attached example with the (latest) alpha version of 
ConTeXt?
Using mkiv I get no additional space in case of the \scratchdimen example.
I tried it with two new installations (minimals) from the scratch and 
also used several luatex versions, but the error remains. Strange...
well, you can never rely on scratchdimen not being used inside the macro 
that you call (in this case it's used right at the start of \framed)

for mkiv i now use a local scratchdimen but you can not rely on that to 
happen fro all places where i use scratcdimen myself


\def\Space#1#2%
  {\expanded
     {\framed
        [width=\the\dimexpr#1\relax,
         height=\the\dimexpr#1\relax,
         frame=on,
         framecolor=green,
         rulethickness=.25pt,
         offset=overlay]}
        {}}

or so is another solution
