Perhaps you have the \let line inside another macro or inside a buffer that is called more than once something similar. If you can't figure out what goes wrong, send me a file please?

I placed your definition in a \start-\stopenvironment file. The \inmargins are
in \product files each of which calls the environment file in its preamble. If
I compile just one product (say the second \product from the project), there
appears to be no problem. But if I compile the entire project, TeX chokes on
that same product.
Do you think this may be the problem?
Yes, because the environment file is read twice, you need a guard against
redefining the redefinition. Placing a guard around it, like this, should work:
\expandafter\ifx\csname normalinmargin \endcsname \relax \else
\let\normalinmargin\inmargin
\def\inmargin#1{{\parindent0pt \normalinmargin{#1}}}
\fi
(yes, that is an ugly hack, but it is one I can write withour actually having
to test it before sending :))

Hi Taco and all,
More on \inmargin and overfull boxes: If I define, e.g. a quote \start-stop
the overfull boxes come back, even with Taco's definition:
==
\setupoutput[pdftex]%
\setupindenting[medium]
\let\normalinmargin\inmargin
\def\inmargin#1{{\parindent0pt\normalinmargin{#1}}}
\definestartstop
[quote]
[before={\startnarrower[1*left,1*right]\blank[big]},
after={\stopnarrower\blank[big]}]
\starttext
\startquote
\input knuth \inmargin{This is a test.}
\input knuth {\parindent0pt\inmargin{This is a test.}}
\stopquote
\stoptext
==
Taco, any more hacks up your sleeve?
;-)
And thank you very much for the last ones!

[NTG-context] INstalling a new version of context
Hello !
I tried to install a new version of context, since somebody suggest to
do it (BTW I do not know how know what version of context I have
... running texexec --version gives me the version of texexec, I
presume, not the version of context ... but anyway ... that not my
sole problem, as for now).
So I used to have a version of context install by default :-) on my
mandrake 10.1 distribution of linux ...
To upgrade I have downloaded
http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip
and read also part of
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/minstall.pdf
It says that I have to unzip cont-tmf.zip in /usr/share/texmf ...
which I have done ...
And then they say we have to regenerate format but I'm not that
expert to understand what it means ...
What I have done is fmtutil --all
But my context distrib does not work anymore ... ;-(
Could anybody help me ?
I have relink
ln -s /usr/share/texmf/context/perltk/texexec.pl /usr/bin/texexec
since /usr/bin/texexec was the location where my shell use to find
texec ... But I'm probably messing everything doing that.
Anyway, I have NOT regenerate the format and try to use texexec ..
but on a simple hello world example stored in hw.tex file :
\starttext
Hello World !
\stoptext
it gives me this output ;-(

RE: FWD: [NTG-context] \inmargin, \setupindenting, and overfull boxes
Hi Taco and all,
I found a temporary solution: Given a \start-\stopnarrower environment like
===
\definestartstop
[quote]
[before={\startnarrower[1*middle]\blank[big]},
after={\stopnarrower\blank[big]}]
===
Then the following will avoid the overfull box:
===
\let\normalinmargin\inmargin
\def\inmargin#1{{\parindent0pt \normalinmargin{#1}}}
\def\INMARGIN#1{\advance\leftskip by -2\parindent
\inmargin{#1}
\advance\rightskip by -2\parindent}
===
Of course this solution is not general, and depends on the actual setup of
\start-\stopnarrower. The general problem with \inmargin appears to be that
all parindents need to be reset.
I could not find a correct way to incorporate my solution above into Taco's
original definition. If any of you have a better idea, please let me know!

CORRECTION: should be

\def\inmargin#1{{\parindent0pt \normalinmargin{#1}}}
\def\INMARGIN#1{{\advance\leftskip by -2\parindent
\inmargin{#1}

Re: [NTG-context] BibTeX module (convert 'and others' to 'et~al.')
Hi Taco! You suggestion would give a publication list, where the first author is printed and everything else is substitued by et~al., right? I would like to be able to do the following. I have several bib-entries, which only one author and and others as the second one. I also have entries, where i have more than one author. I want to create a publication list, where to all (to a certain limit) authors a printed individually and the the ones given by and others produce an et~al. entry in the list. Is that possible?

So I used to have a version of context install by default :-) on my mandrake 10.1 distribution of linux ... The upgrading of Context or even of pdftex is sufficiently failure prone that I have given up trying. Instead I used the latest packages from Slackware current and installed those. When TeX live is updated again next winter I will upgrade to that level. The instructions never seem to deal with the exact configuration one is dealing with. Frankly I would rather spend my time typesetting and laying out books. So I accept the newest complete package that seems to work and reinstall. In theory I could upgrade, in fact I am better off waiting for the next complete distro from either TeXlive or Slack.
