Dear Taco and the rest of the gang,

There seems to be a problem with the \cite when encountering \penalty1000:

ConTeXt  ver: 2006.01.28 10:09  fmt: 2006.1.29

In the following example if you uncomment

%\def\citeauthoroutpage[#1][#2]{\cite[alternative=authoryears,left={},  
right={, #2)},inbetween={ (}][#1]}

Then you will get the error:

=========================================

========================================

This used to compile just fine. I am now in the terrible position of  
having to make last-minute editorial changes to a manuscript I sent to the  
publishers months ago, and at the same time be on the guard for new  
ConTeXt errors!
:-((

I switched all my bib macros (like \citeauthoroutpage) to the \cite style  
of the above definition, and I really don't want to change back to the  
\setupcite style and have to debug this all over again...

Thank you in advance for your help!!

Best
Idris

An entry recorded in the work of the eighth century Sunni{}
biographer and chronicler, Ab\=u~Bakr ibn A\.hmad ibn Qad\=i \v
Suhba\~h, demonstrates the ambiguous nature of religious identity
and affiliation as it was constructed in contemporary sources from
the period. Ibn~Qad\=i \v Suhba\~h's narrative proceeds as
     follows:
     \footnote{\citeauthoroutpage[jamil04][vol.~2, p.~605--6]. I
     have been unable to confirm this entry in the two Sunni{}
     biographies mentioned in the text, Ibn~Rajab and
     Ibnu~\~al-Fuwat\~i. It is also worth noting that Ibn~Q\=ad\=i
     \v Suhba\~h was writing about events taking place in Baghdad
     from Damascus. Perhaps, the geographical distance from of the
     author from the events and sites being described is worthy of
     consideration.
