I looked through the forums and the known bugs list to make sure this isn't old news. I think I just experienced a rare bug. Alright, so, I had a dwarf carrying either a rock or a cave spider web out to a garbage dump site to clear out my water lock, right? So he's climbing up the five or six flights of stairs, right? On the third or fourth, got a message sayin' he was too injured to complete his job, and less than a second later drowns freezes to death. Dead. Staircase. Not even a little moist. Dead. Out of idiocy I saved the file right after his death, so no recreating the event, but if Toady still wants the save file, I can upload it somewhere. Anyone want snapshots of the Announcements page and the inexplicable dead little dwarfy on the staircase?
P.S. It was either still spring or the summer of embark year, so nothing was afoot.
P.S.S. I did what would seem like some unrelated cheating because it was more of a test map than a hardcore fortress. Revealed the map, and I anti-hungry-and-thirstied a few dwarves, one of which may have been Mister Chokes-On-Airborne-Water-Molecules freezes in a temperate climate in spring/summer there. Anyway, look into it?
Oh, everything else is peachy keen. Newest release, no mods in place, or the like.
Edit: He froze to death, he did not drown. Woops. Lemme check the bug list for this one. *smacks head* Froze to death... Froze to death...
