\externalfigure shows text alongside the picture

I am using \externalfigure to show a picture at the desired scale. Instead of providing a number for the width parameter I have made a definition with \def. When I run in mkiv this I get the text "4t" alongside the picture. \def\DesignSize#1{3.5cm/4*#1}% \starttext \externalfigure[hacker.jpg][width=\DesignSize{4}] \stoptext In mkii is perfect. I've also tried \define[1]\DesignSize{3.5cm/4*#1} with the same result.

\define[1]\DesignSize{\the\dimexpr3.5cm/4*#1\relax} Wolfgang
