It's easily reproducible with a simple
\starttext
\dorecurse{50000}{
\input knuth
}
\starttext
 \dorecurse{50000}{

also fails after page  [1619.1619]) with

That is mkii, right? (I am not interested in that)

I think that is a bug, or not?

yes, I think so.
Yes it was a bug, fixed in the luatex source repository now.
How high is the limit now? Just curious, since I saw LuaTeX building _a
paragraph_ lasting few hundred pages without problems (on the other hand,
pdfTeX couldn't do it).
