Hi,
On my installation of ConTeXt, there is no hanging: maybe there is an issue
with your intsllation?
The output shows a grey rectangle with
name : dummy
file: figure
state: unknown
written on it.
For your information, I tested your code on a Mac OS X 10.6.6 and the minimals
(version 2011.02.25).
Best regards: OK
