Hi Taco,
But this should be enough to reproduce it:
\starttext \input "\string|echo -n bla" \stoptext
I can reproduce the problem, but have no idea how to fix it. pdftex crashes when a pclose is called in aclose(), file openclose.c. But I don't know anything about pipes in pdftex
I'll check it out.
On windows (pdftex 1.40.0, ConTeXt 2007.01.02 13:44 MK II), \starttext \input "\string|echo This is a test." \stoptext works fine. The result is one page pdf with the sentence "This is a test." Thanks, Akira
