Summary0001889: World gen crashing DF after 100-300 years of genning.
DescriptionOk, here's my problem-Now, it might just be me, but whenever I gen a world DF eventually crashes. Now, with the new version I'm guessing it auto-ends around 1,000 years, as that's what I gathered from other posts. So it crashes around 100-300 years. I can just stop it at like 20 or something, but I still think this is fairly urgent-ish?
Steps To ReproduceAlways happens for me.
1. Start up DF
2. Gen a new world.
3. Wait.

What size worlds are you generating? If you're using custom world gen params, please post them on http://pastebin.com/ [^]

Try watching the memory usage of the DF process in Task Manager during world generation. How high does it get?
