0009536: Some undead won't die (a gorlak skeleton and ewe head)
I have a gorlak skeleton (head, middle spine, lower spine, all in red) and ewe head (head, skull, both in red) completely 'mangled beyond recognition' but never dying. Metal maces, spears, swords, bolts all in on the action. Other undead have been successfully killed previously.

I've tried reloading the save and fighting again with the same result. My dwarves are fighting to over-exertion and falling over, falling unconscious.
I've uploaded a save here:

The fight is in-progress. F1 hotkey for the surface then one level down to find the action.
No tags attached.

The Cardinal's head at the exit from the fortress which rushed all my 70 dwarves and then they died from hunger and thirst, all who bore water or food wanted to kill the head.
Can you add button "ignore monster" or something like that.
