Hi List,
As my macbook is too old to update (according to apple) and will not be
upgraded soon (if at all) I cannot test the attached issue. So it's up
to others.
(My ipad is also too old so it seems I'm stuck with less and less
useable apple hardware even if it's not yet broken down.)

Since upgrading to Mac OS X.9 I haven't been able to use ConTeXt/XeTex:
on even a minimal file I get the message
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in
'require':
/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/scripts/context/ruby/base/switch.rb:501:
invalid multibyte escape: /\xFF/ (SyntaxError) from
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in
'require' from
/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb:11:in `'
which refers to this method
def cleanvalue(value)
if value then
# value.sub(/^([\\'])(.*?)\1$/) { $2.gsub(/\xFF/o, ' ') }
value.gsub(/\xFF/o, ' ')
else
''
end
end
