I don't know if this is a bug. I tried looking but couldn't find anything. I have a dwarf with high scholarly skills who just migrated. Everytime I assign him to the library as a scholar the game crashes. I can assign him to other jobs like performer and scribe but no scholar without the game crashing. Has anyone else seen this? I am using dfhack and therapist so I didn't want to submit a report without checking here to see if anyone else has seen this.

I thought perhaps he might still be assigned to a world gen site. Do world gen sites even work like that? I haven't had a fort in this world yet aside from the current.

There is the save. I named the dwarf BUGGED. The library is already set up. The only thing you have to do to reproduce is to assign the dwarf to the library as a scholar.

Edit: Also, I had just started setting up the library for testing. That's how I noticed the issue. So there are no other scholars assigned in this save. Although I was halfway through assigning my designated scholars when the game crashed the first time. I didn't find any other bugged dwarves.

Edit2: I went ahead and submitted a bug report since I reproduced the crash in a fresh download of DF. http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=9488

dont forget, when you mod, the world itself is modded and even if you move the save into a vanilla game its still modded

i myself cant see anything wrong with the individual, though maby somebody with DFhack could

Thanks for taking a look, I appreciate it.

Ya I know about the modding, but I don't think it is anything there. This is my 27th fort with .04 and this is the first time this has happened. That's why I thought maybe it was a world gen thing. Maybe 15% of my dwarves in any given fort are placed as scholars in the library. Of those 15%, 3% or so have been assigned as scholars during world gen, which means they made discoveries, wrote books, changed between libraries, etc. On average I have about 100 dwarves per fort so that's a low amount of dwarves who could possibly be affected by this bug (assuming it is a bug). I doubt very many players would have been affected yet.

Of course it may not be a bug at all and it might just be save corruption. With this low percent of occurrence it could be anything.
