hi, in a pristine standalone context (installed yesterday) under ubuntu I see a seemingly consistent crash of luatex if the document contains footnotes minimal example: \starttext foo\footnote{bar} \stoptext which crashes with this output: 8<------------------------------------- tx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en" --jobname="tt" --lua="/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en.lui" --no-parse-first-line --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./tt.tex" --c:input="./tt.tex" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=9 "cont-yes.mkiv" This is LuaTeX, Version 1.0.3 (TeX Live 2017/dev) system commands enabled. open source > level 1, order 1, name '/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-yes.mkiv' system > system > ConTeXt ver: 2017.01.27 14:39 MKIV beta fmt: 2017.2.15 int: english/english system > system > 'cont-new.mkiv' loaded open source > level 2, order 2, name '/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-new.mkiv' close source > level 2, order 2, name '/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-new.mkiv' system > files > jobname 'tt', input './tt', result 'tt' fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language 'en' is active open source > level 2, order 3, name '/home/myusername/tt/tt.tex' fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize rm 12pt' is loaded mtx-context | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: execution interrupted 8<------------------------------------- while without the footnote it does compile just fine (the same happens in more complicated documents: crashes until last footnote is removed, then it compiles...). I am not an experienced context user, but don't see that I could have done much wrong in installing context in the first place (notably, the search path seems correct). any idea what's going on here? thx/joerg -- Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
