0003464: Crashed while playing Dwarf Fortress mode

Notes
(0013739) John Keel (reporter) 2010-11-12 19:36 edited on: 2010-11-20 20:52	I've also occasionally gotten this crash (twice today in about an hour, as well as previous versions more sporadically). A recent terminal output log for 0.31.17: http://pastebin.com/kzKQRJb9 [^]

Seems like it's a graphics problem, considering the similar prefixes with the problems Terminal reports. Second: After a little Googling, I've found examples of similar errors. http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=870 [^] is an NSAutoReleaseNoPool() error, though for a different object. It was fixed, and the guy explained how and why. People in http://www.idevgames.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7710 [^] also had errors like this, and give a much more detailed explanation (something to do with SDL and objective C not playing nicely).

Here is the last text in gamelog.txt (although I'd be surprised if it was up to date as of the instant of the crash). Rimtar Rakusttumam, Glassmaker cancels Store Item in Stockpile: Interrupted by Goblin Crossbowman. The Wrestler bashes The Goblin Crossbowman in the right hand with her {iron mace}, shattering the bone through the ({giant cave spider silk right glove})! The Dog bites The Goblin Lasher in the head, but the attack is deflected by The Goblin Lasher's ({Æcopper helmØ})! The Goblin Crossbowman gives in to pain. The Hammerdwarf bashes The Goblin Crossbowman in the head with her (Æ+bronze war hammer+Ø), bruising the muscle and tearing the upper spine's nervous tissue through the ({cave spider silk hood})! The Dog bites The Goblin Lasher in the head, but the attack is deflected by The Goblin Lasher's ({Æcopper helmØ})! Kol Lisatcatten, Gem Cutter cancels Store Item in Stockpile: Interrupted by Goblin Lasher. The Hammerdwarf bashes The Goblin Crossbowman in the head with her (Æ+bronze war hammer+Ø), bruising the muscle and tearing the upper spine's nervous tissue through the ({cave spider silk hood})!

Sibrek Zasmerseth, Metalcrafter cancels Store Item in Bin: Interrupted by Goblin Crossbowman.

The Dog bites The Goblin Lasher in the head, but the attack is deflected by The Goblin Lasher's ({Æcopper helmØ})! The Recruit regains consciousness. The Dog bites The Goblin Lasher in the head, but the attack is deflected by The Goblin Lasher's ({Æcopper helmØ})! The Wrestler stands up.

Please, in the future, upload these to pastebin, instead of posting the entire contents here? It makes it hard to read. That being said, are you both playing on the latest version, and what specifically is going on when the game crashes?

(0014197) jfw25 (reporter) 2010-11-24 15:46	Sorry, I was unaware of pastebin until now. I have seen similar crashes with 0.31.16, 0.31.17, and 0.31.18. I have just had a crash which may be more enlightening. I was playing the same fortress which crashed before, from the same save; this time I was able to defeat all of the goblin invaders and got through the ambush; shortly thereafter, a kobold thief appeared, and I had my squad give chase. They chased the thief to the edge of the map, and the instant the thief reached the edge of the map, the game crashed. Of course, everything else that usually goes on with a fortress was happening at the same time, but this was very well-timed to be the cause.
