gamelog.txt (in the DF main directory) records the parameter sets and seeds for any worlds you generate. If you get a crash w, you should post those params/seeds here.

I submitted a report like this a while ago. You don't, eh, happen to be running two different processes off the DF executable (either both generating worlds, or one generating a world and the other playing), do you? Because it resulted in intermittent crashes like that.

Just got one a couple minutes ago while placing civs, I saw that it had crashed and then I remembered that there was a bug report relating to a placing civs crash.

Edit: Copied the worldgen params from a world that I already have, the seeds are copied from the gamelog. Occasionally these worldgen params (with random seed of course) gives one that produces random buffer overload spam in the errorlog. It didn't do that when it crashed though. Aside from the removal of aquifers, and removing the pet_exotic tags, the only modding I've done is make the maxage for goblins 2:3

Does 0002463 sound like what you were doing before creating the world?

I've had crashes at civ placement some times. Reducing amount of civilizations in the worldgen settings seems to resolve it for me. Which is related, really, as I have browsed around the map at least on one or two occasions of this happening (and i can't promise i haven't on all occasions), gone "guh, just dwarves? common, at least gen me some goblins".

I am getting a crash while generating the world as well on Mac OS X 10.5.8 PowerPC.

Below are my gamelog.txt for the session, a copy of the terminal output and the crash log.

Still happening as of 31.21. Actually, I hadn't seen this crash since... I don't know, .15 or .16? And suddenly it's happening again.

Reminder sent to: Lac

Lac, you may be correct that this is a case of 0005077, but can you explain your reasoning briefly?
(0020292)
Lac   
2012-02-20 15:25   
I was referencing Lightning4's quote. Specifically: "I reproduced 0002432 exactly in 31.08, so [this corrupted features bug] may very well be the cause of that".
He also suggests that this issue is only reproducible in <= 31.08. Which might be another reason to close it. But I've not confirmed this either.

In hindsight, perhaps I should have IMed Lightning4 to leave a note on these cases rather than dabble.

No problem, thanks for bringing this report to my attention. Yeah, we'll chalk it up to the same cause.
