fortress mode:
build channel. allow rocks to be in it. flood with depth 6-7 water. have stairway leading out of it that is passable. dwarves ignore water and wander in to move rocks out, and are somehow unable to leave if there is not a 'path' to the staircase of rocks (ie one tile of just water without a rock in it between dwarf and staircase)  result: dwarves are trapped, do not drown, but starve over time.

I think this just might be related to another pos above, "dwarves hate stairs".
It seems dwarves need ramps, not stairs, to haul heavy items like rocks.

That doesn't make sense in light of my experiences...

I dug down several levels, using up/down staircases as the only access between levels, and my dwarves were fine with carrying mined out rock between levels.
