Re: [NTG-context] endnotes: ! Dimension too large. ?? (another problem)

A big problem is that the \MyNote notes seem to be not "brakeable"
If such a note is half a page long and all the notes are set at the end of the text
it happens quite often that there is half a page empty (because the next note is too long).
Do you also have a clue for this?
Thank you,

OK, I have more than 700 footnotes - but when using "location=page" everything works fine.
I was trying to find whether there is something missing when I just continue, and I found the TableOfContent is cut. But the text and the footnotes as well seem to be OK.
Is there a patch helping me to avoid this error?
Why not use the following mechanism:
\starttext
\definelist[MyNoteList]
\newcounter\MyNotes
\long\def\MyNote#1% {\ifhmode\unskip\fi \doglobal\increment\MyNotes\relax \high{\MyNotes}% \expanded{\writetolist[MyNoteList]{\MyNotes}}{#1}}
\dorecurse{1000}{test \MyNote{Whow, another note}\endgraf}
\page \placelist[MyNoteList][criterium=text]
\stoptext
You can format the list any way you like, e.g.:
\def\MyNoteList#1#2#3{#1\quad#2\endgraf}
\placelist[MyNoteList][criterium=text,command=\MyNoteList]
also, you can now cal lthem per chapter,
\placelist[MyNoteList][criterium=chapter]
etc
