0001063: Pressing 'm' to bring up military screen freezes game
The game stops responding when I press the key to enter the military screen.

Previous to that issue, military screen would come up, but would freeze when I tried to select a squad member other than the first one. It's different now because I deleted the squad (I only had one squad) and created a new one, which allowed me to reassign dwarves to the squad like I could before it started freezing the game. After that, I saved the game and reopened to see if the game would freeze through the same methods as before, only to find out that trying to open the military screen at all froze the game.

Check 31.03, theres several military screen crash bugs that were fixed, so this could be one that has been fixed.

This is most probably caused by your soldiers using large daggers. See: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=378 [^]

I think it's the dagger issue. I made the change to the raws, and it seems to work. Now it just crashes for unknown reasons later on.

0000378 is the known unresolved crash issue, if you're still crashing in 0.31.03 after ruling out 378 than you should go ahead and upload a save that crashes and try to get this behavior isolated.

Well, in my case daggers crash the game even if I change the raws. So try not only changing the raws, but ALSO forbidding all daggers and making sure nobody uses them.
