0009122: Don't build walls in a tree's leaves - Game will crash if dwarf climbs tree
A tree is deleted when you build a wall inside of it.
If a Dwarf is occupying the tree while it is deleted in this way, the game crashes.

A dwarf decided to climb a tree to build a wall in its branches and the game crashed because of this.
Have a way to get to the first elevated level of a tree. Build a wall in the tree's leaves somewhere and make your dwarf have to stand on the tree proper instead of on a floor and then whilst in the branches use a hauled log to build a wall in the tree.

If the Dwarf would fall if the tree was to be deleted and is not standing on a floor, the game crashes instead of the Dwarf falling to the ground.

I tried to build a wall in a tree while having a dwarf stand on a platform next to the tree without standing in a tree and the game still crashed. I guess deleting a tree in this way crashes the game.

I don't know how to edit a bug report, so consider this a full disclaimer on all parts saying you need to stand in the tree.
