Burning corpses.
« on: September 13, 2007, 12:31:00 pm »

I tried searching this problem from the logs but didn't find it in brief inspection.

One of my mechanics caught on fire while fighting chasm ratmen near the magma aqueduct. He died and his corpse remained burning. This created and escalating problem as the peasant who came to bury his corpse caught in fire too and died while carrying the burning dead mechanic. Now I had two burning corpses that needed burial. Well you get the idea as everyone who went to bury the dead caught in fire and died themselves. I was wondering for a time why the "XXXX has bled to death" message was showing repeatedly until I saw a three smoking dwarves running in the main corridor with burning corpses on their shoulders.

Sorry if this problem has already been posted.

Major bug.

Dwarves will no longer use flaming things in tasks in the next version, which will help some.

Yes, that might help.
