just post to the context list what you want to achieve with that and i will look into it (minimal example and such)
so, nothing for gerben to worry about since it's not related to the mac, but more to trickery -)

After playing a bit with minimal examples I think the "bug" has to do with the project structure. Here comes a very minimal example that *still* runs 8 times under Mac (2 times under Win)! Why? Given a main TEST.tex file and besides that a PARTS folder containing the files ONE.tex and TWO.tex : TEST.tex \startproject TEST \startfrontmatter \component PARTS/ONE.tex \component PARTS/TWO.tex \stopfrontmatter \stopproject ONE.tex \startcomponent ONE text \stopcomponent TWO.tex \startcomponent TWO text \stopcomponent The Mac output (plus the Win output) were unfortunately bounced back - Message body is too big: 59628 bytes with a limit of 40 KB. But if someone is interested I can send it privately. Steffen
