[NTG-context] Code that run in Metapost but not in starMPcode enviroment

[DesdeChaves]

I'm trying to draw some random arrows using Metapost. For that I use a
piece of code from fpast that in found at stackexchange
<http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/179745/generating-random-arrows-in-tikz/180111#180111>

Unfortunately this code does not work in context (request for a solution
<http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/225864/metapost-error-related-with-context>)
because the freelabel() function. If I disable it the result is the
expected.
What is wrong with this code?
