In an attempt to get to the Circus as quickly as possible to check something random, I genned a world to have no cavern or magma, and the thinnest possible rock and semi-molten rock layers.  Channeled into an undiscovered SM rock square, but couldn't descend to continue digging.  Solution: drop a cave floor through it!

Worked like a charm, opened a path to the Circus, and apparently never sounded the alarm for the Clown Car.  There ended up being ooooone miiiinor prooooblem, though: a Circus pit happened to be directly underneath, and the caved-in floor...broke through that too at the map's bottom layer.  Cue a constant spam of cave-in warnings at that very spot, several per step:

All the pages between those two look pretty much the exact same as page 5.  For the record, here's a shot with the Mayday graphics pack of what the pit looks like at the cave-in spot:

And here is the view from a few floors up (you'll notice the pit image is no longer projected up from the caved-in square):

I'm not sure why the cave in message keeps spamming.  Maybe the debris/smoke from the initial crash comes in contact with the new magma flow square and counts as another collision?  Or perhaps the pits try to automatically fill themselves in, and the constantly regenned square gets eaten up as soon as it appears.  Vicious cycle!

One thing for certain is that being unable to unpause without the announcement instantly repausing it is getting a little annoying.

I would upload the save to DFFD, then file a bug on the bug tracker with a link to the save and a link to this thread.

~/data/init/announcements.txt, change [CAVE_COLLAPSE:A_D:D_D:P:R] to [CAVE_COLLAPSE:A_D:D_D] (remove :P:R)

This will stop it from pausing and recentering every time.
