Well, this does seem to be the problem, but I haven't been able to fix it. To check whether the characters were doing some mischief, I compiled a file, say (file.tex) \starttext This is a test \stoptext Then I removed the characters from the file.tuo, and compiled again with texexec --once file.tex. The result was that there was no twos. However when the same process was done _without_ removing the characters from file.tuo, the twos were present. Unfortunately the problem has persisted even when I used Active state's perl.
