Can you send me (if you prefer by private email) some test documents?

Is the functionatlity of ConTeXt with respect to pdftex broken in the
same way? If not, I wouldn't it consider "important", since pdftex is
still the default engine.

Does this "fix" break any other functionality? Is it included in
2007.09.10 release?
