Find area -> No aquifier finds area with aquifier 40c

Not much I can say here: I asked for a river, flux, magma, other features, and no aquifier. And I got one.

Try a thread with nearly the exact title posted a week ago.

You also misspelled "aquifer," there's only one "i".

100% of the map, at least one layer.

I've noticed some strange behaviour in the Choose Fortress Location screen, and I'm wondering if this is linked.

I found a forest biome in some random map wanderings that had two soil layers and then the normal three rock layers. However, if I moved the embark rectangle to include the river that passed through the forest, the whole biome showed an additional soil layer (so now three) which displayed as an aquifer. Moving the embark rectangle to exclude the river reverted back to the two soil layer no-aquifer display. This behaviour was pretty consistent.

Edit: strangely enough, the next world I generate hit this exact 'bug'. I asked for 'No Aquifer', and the grasslands next to the mountain displayed as having an aquifer. Moved the embark rectangle off of the brook, and the grasslands then showed as not having an aquifer.
