Problem with metafun

Hello list

I have run into a strange problem with MetaPost and Metafun recently. Here is a complete minimal example:

beginfig(1);
	label("O", origin);
endfig;

beginfig(2);
	label(btex O etex, origin);
endfig;

end;

It works flawlessly with standard MetaPost. But if I use the metafun format with texexec as TeX engine,
using the following command

mpost -mem=metafun -tex="texexec --dvi" bug-metafun.mp 

(bug-metafun.mp is the name I've given to this file), something weird happens: the result is as expected,
but the log file is enormous (nearly 1 Mo, see the joined file…), containing tons of bizarre messages
abount duplicated fontmaps… No idea about what it means.

Is this a known problem?

I use Mac OS X, version 10.5.8,  MetaPost 1.504 and Metafun, which are shipped with TeX Live 2011 (MacTeX 2011).

Thanks,

Franck Pastor

I can't help, but I confirm the behaviour with mpost (and MetaFun) from TeX Live 
2011. With mpost 1.504 from a (not too recent) ConTeXt Minimals distribution, 
the log has reasonable size (~2KB), so this is most probably related to TeX 
Live/MacTeX.

Each graphic loads the same map file:

  [1{psfonts.map}] [2{psfonts.map
