I have three fortresses now (two I deleted in disgust) where after getting my forges going, I have created some items that apparently will crash the game when the furnace operator tries to smelt it.  So far these are steel items.  I have not tried smelting anything else.

There is a bug submitted for this, but it was supposedly fixed in 31.05.  I am using 34.11 that is bundled with PeridexisErrant LazyNewbPack r45.  There are a number of "bug fixes" included with the pack, is it possible that one of these is screwing up the works?

If anyone else has had this problem, and found a way around it, I would be very interested in knowing what you did.

Yes I get that one a lot (I'm also using LNP r45 with 34.11).  It seems if I Alt-Tab from DF onto another process and have fastdwarf 1 enabled, then any command to melt objects will eventually crash the game.  The only way I've found to get past this is to stock up on everything then to devote some time to melting stuff: do a quicksave, then let it melt some things, then hopefully get another quicksave in before it crashes; if not wait a bit less time before another quicksave, then let it melt some more, all with fastdwarf off and not doing any Alt-Tabbing.  Even then I still get crashes, but at least with quicksave and focussing on the melting to the exclusion of absolutely everything else I eventually get through all the melting.

It doesn't seem to be related to any specific objects.  While I'm letting some objects melt, if it crashes when one particular object is taken in to be melted, then if I quicksave just before that object is melted next time, then it gets past that object and crashes a bit later instead.
