I did the update to ConTeXt 2006-01-18 but almost regret that decision as an old problem seems to surface again. Typesetting a file that has not failed me with an august2006 version now crashes.

I don't know how to solve the problem you describe, but you can circumvent it by replacing textext("\tts 66\%~") by \sometxt{\tts 66\%~} It will also run much faster and more efficient.

Thanks. This helps, allthough I need to use \textext instead of \sometxt. The reason being that the picture returned in \textext is processed further by the homemade Labelmacro for placement which I use for global color settings of various elements of the drawing. My confusion was with MetaFun's textext macro and TeX's \textext (and \sometext) macro.
But then I have a question for you: can you please explain in more details what \textext can do that \sometxt can't? (I didn't really understand your description.) I didn't understand your problem, but does it make any difference if you set \chardef\TeXtextcolormode\zerocount at the top of your document? (In the case that you have problems with colors.) Mojca
