We have to remember, as well, that ConTeXt is also distributed as part of
teTeX and the version included (TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005)
is bordering on the neolithic. As such, it's not really eligble for support (the
first thing you'll be told to do is upgrade to a recent version).
