In [MikTeX]/scripts/context/perl/makempy.pl I removed -ssp [simulate
subpaths] from the following two routines:
sub make_mp_pictures_ps
{ process ("metapost file") ;
run ($tmpfile, "$pstoedit", "-ssp -dt -f mpost $posfile $tmpfile") }
sub make_mp_pictures_pdf
{ process ("metapost file") ;
run ($tmpfile, "$pstoedit", "-ssp -dt -f mpost $pdffile $tmpfile") }
pstoedit now doesn't crash any more, but 'P' or 'O' for example don't
have "holes" any more. I'll try to reinstall my cygwin or to compile the
source of pstoedit on Linux later. If I understood correctly than this
patch should solve the problem and -ssp should work again.
Besides that, pstoedit will move to sourceforge, so it will hopefully
soon be possible to download it more easily than it is now :)
