I currently have a channel leading from the magma into the chasm, with a floodgate at each end. When one of my lil' dwarven buddies pulls the lever to open it, the game instantly crashes. I have another one leading from the river to the chasm which works fine. It also crashes on my GLADIATOR DEATH KILL BLOOD ARENA OF PAINT. I have a lever leading to two cages at once, one with a stray dog and one with a batman. Below them is a carbon copy of the arena, with a magma man and another batman.

If you're using the latest version this shouldn't be happening. A few versions ago, the game did crash when any flood happened (even a channel filling) But if you are using the latest version...

Also, even though the game doesn't crash any more, it does slow down considerably. If your computers CPU isn't fast enough, your computer and not the game may be closing Dwarf Fortress to prevent it from using up too many CPU cycles.

I have never heard of something like this happening.

I was using the next-to-newest version, and I had one channel taking water to the chasm. And one of the levers was crashing when it opened a cage, not a channel or anything similar, then it would do the 'Dwarf Fortress has encountered an error' etc. etc.

Anyway, it doesn't matter now. I abandoned the fortress, from a combination of a beserk fey-mooder who took out my elite marksdwarf, my only speardwarf and hammerdwarf, and someone's mother, who then promptly tantrumed, setting off a chain reaction of angryness, and also, starvation set off more trantrums... it basically got buggered.
