A crash (ie a seg. fault, or an infinite loop) with context ?
It's way too off-topic, but first my pdf viewer crashed while context was still compiling the document, luatex was stuck in the middle of compiling. I used Ctrl+C to break the compilation, but there was a ghost process still there. I tried to remove the new code, then start context again. It was stuck again, I had to use Ctrl+C to stop compilation and there was again a new ghost luatex process in the background. I tried "kill -9 <pid>", but it didn't help. I tried to force kill it in the GUI, no success either. Then I tried "rm filename.pdf" and the "rm" process was stuck as well, forever. Finally I tried to reboot the machine, but it refused to reboot, so I had to shut it down the hard way (press the switch-off button for a long time, an equivalent of removing the battery).
I don't think that any of that had anything to do with ConTeXt or luatex. It sounds like a hardware issue to me (despite my first thought that I ended up in an infinite loop).
to me it sounds as mtxrun/luatex problem instead. I will try to reproduce it.
