Summary0004130: Digging/mining (in soil?) causes crash on non-Windows systems
DescriptionA few minutes from embarking, after designating some tree-cutting and mining, the construction of 10 beds, and appointing a dwarf to handle management, the game crashes. This is reproducible every time I've tried.

The save includes the entire data folder, in case it's one of the settings files modifications that is the culprit - I've changed announcements.txt, d_init.txt and init.txt.

The save file is here: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=3906 [^]
Steps To Reproduce1. Load save.
2. Wait a minute or so.

Could it be related to mining? I get crashes only after starting to mine. Without any mining at all, the game runs fine for at least a game month.
Mining in clay, crash after 30 to 60 tiles, without stairs/ramps (different world)

Also mining in clay here.

EDIT: I have attempted to mine in loam instead. Same result.

I'm getting a crash very soon after embark, also. Ubuntu Linux (Lucid). This is using a fresh vanilla install of DF v0.31.20 with no modifications.

Edit: I let an embark run for almost an in-game month with no problem (took no action, just let things run). Then started mining into a hill of black sand, after maybe >30 tiles of mining a crash occurred.

Edit: Also, I'm running on x86_64, not 32 bit, in case that has any bearing.

Yeah, it seems to be related to soil mining. Apparently the regrow changes seem to have broken something?

Could it be that the game crashes when the game tries to place grass on the newly mined out area, and fails?

I grabbed a core dump from a crash, and got a backtrack from each thread (although no idea how much use this is given stripped symbols)

It doesn't happen in all games. I've started a fort where I've mined out huge swaths of soil and I don't get any crash. Is it platform specific? I'm on Win7.

Further testing:
Digging out only 10 tiles --> crash
Digging out only stairs (grass has nowhere to grow)--> crash
inmediately building wooden floor on dug out tiles --> no crash.
---

Doing same things with same save in window version (via wine) --> NO crash

Well, the good news is that this appears to be highly reproducible.

The bad news is that it's highly reproducible (meaning it's elfin' near impossible to play).

Here's another core dump backtrace, this time after I tried very hard to avoid digging any soil:

Channeling through clay, so that is exposed to air from above, doesn't seem to cause a crash - at least in the way I did it (channeled out some rocks, got left with clay loam tiles).

Hm, I got a crash on an embark where I'm sure I didn't dig through soil - I specifically looked for a soil/clayless embark, and took one with just one tile of soil. Unfortunately, I have no save for that, so I'll look into this further.

Found the embark region again, and tested it - the crash occurs even when I do nothing at all. The save is uploaded at http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=3911 [^] . It may be something different in this case, and since it is a modded game, it may be something I did, though I tend to doubt it.

Ah, yeah, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, should have mentioned that when the first report came in that it may be system-specific.

Anyway, I did some more testing. And, giving my dwarves speed 1 to dig down before the crash occurs, I've found generic grass in the third (I think) cavern layer, as per the report you've recently reopened. I wonder if that may be related to this crash? I'll download the save for that game and test it.

Edit: Ech, can't handle the rar compression correctly. I'll try to remember to unrar it tomorrow on Windows, then try out the save.

Unable to reproduce Knight Otu's crash after no activity, have confirmed that results of mining AND channeling can cause crash.

However, crash did not occur during mining, but rather, about 30 seconds afterwards. Ramps had been designated for removal, miners were en route, and crash occurred.

Also experimented with trampling grass, to observe if regrow would cause crash. No crash occurred despite valid growing surfaces exposed from trampling, though.

So, crash will occur regardless of whether exposed surface is viable for regrowth, and regardless of whether it is above ground or subterranean. Crash can occur at any point after soil has been mined, regardless of if tile is presently being mined.

Using Phoebus' graphics, but I don't think this is causing any issue, considering the crash on a vanilla install.

EDIT: Huh. Repeated channeling, and it didn't crash. Grass is regrowing just fine on the slopes. But, began to dig horizontally, and crash occurred within 30 tiles or so. Then dug horizontal tunnel, designated no additional digging and took no further action, and crash occurred within 30 seconds.

Proceeded to channel horizontal tunnel and remove ramps, leaving it outside, light, and above ground... No crash, grass growing. Then extended tunnel 4 tiles underground, leaving it inside, dark, and subterranean. Crash occurred within 30 seconds. So, seems to be an issue with underground tiles, for me. If the issue is regrow, maybe it isn't interacting well with underground tiles?
