I had this same problem. I suddenly got the "xDwarfx, Farmer has bled to death." I zoomed to the location and they were lying dead at the end of a blood trail about a dozen tiles long. There were no combat reports, or even any creatures on the map besides my dwarves to have fought with.

It looked exactly like the (supposedly fixed) rain/melting bug... since it had been raining only moments before my farmer died. The map I was playing on was warm enough to have evaporated nearly all of the non flowing water by the beginning of the first summer.

Did you have any failed mandates? Check the [z] -> Justice screen to make sure.

It's very possible that there are still temperature issues, or that the fix even introduced new ones.

Not a one, the fort had just been going for a couple of months. No nobles, no siegers, I couldn't think of anything that could cause it.

Hmm... yeah, we can probably chalk this one up to temperature. It might be helpful if you upload the save to http://dffd.wimbli.com/. [^]

No ... no failed mandates, the fort was only a couple months old. Unfortunately I abandoned the fortress right after this happened ... remembering a moment later that the save might be handy.

This is the same save as the warm stone brook one as the farmer died in the same fort. I hope it helps :)

Yes, I'm certain this is related to the rain. Commented on the parent issue.

So many lives lost....oh god the blood, there was so much blood...

Well, it seems the issue hasn't been resolved yet... I embarked into an warm rainy climate with a river (forest biome), and two years on, not one single fish... and now, not even any turtles. It seems the "fix" simply ensured turtles would boil away from the heat, instead of making the rivers and ponds livable.

Also, on activating the [d]esignate -> [d]ig command, the flowing water in the river shows the "warm stone" symbol (yellow sunburst on a red background), instead of remaining a number or showing the "damp stone" symbol. Either it's an interesting glitch, or the river is as hot as magma now.

See Toady's comment at 0000190:0007125. 31.05 should have a more complete fix for the problem.

I'm resolving this report as a duplicate of 0000190.
