This has now happened twice (but not in a row - after the first crash, I loaded the game, let it run a few minutes, then tried to save, just in case the game was bad or something, and it saved just fine.)

Let me try to think what factors were present in both.

- I had been playing for several hours since the last save *cry* (but this is not usually a problem)

- I had hit the lava lake.

- I exported a BMP of my fortress shortly before saving.

Hmm, that's about all I can think of. Nothing else stands out as being the same.
I can show you pictures of what my forts looked like just before the crash wiped them out, if you'd think that would help.

Let's see here, other possibly useful information - my errorlog.txt contains three entires, all of them reading:
DOUBLE TAGGED ITEM: Sleep

The last couple of lines of my gamelog are:
Some migrants have arrived.
Kol Tholkadol, Bookkeeper has mandated the construction of coins.
•nul M”rulfer, Broker has altered the prices of goods.
An animal has grown to become a Stray cat.
An animal has grown to become a Stray cat.
Stray cat (Tame) has adopted Šzum Astislolor, Peasant.
Erib Rakustƒst, Craftsdwarf cancels Collect Webs: Job item lost or destroyed.
Stray cat (Tame) has adopted Stodir Likotosor, Fisherdwarf.

Ask me if you need anything else, and I'll try to come up with it. Losing all my hard work (twice!) is horrible.

Are you running the latest version? Up until 21.101.19a I had this problem too. If so, send the save over to ToadyOne.

[AlStar]

Yeah, I'm using 21.101.19a, although the world I'm playing was originally made in .95

I'm not certain what sending the save would do, since the save is nowhere near (timewise) the point where my game crashed when it tried to save. Like I said, both times I'd been playing for a couple hours before saving. Reloading the game takes me back to the last save, and that doesn't seem to have anything wrong with it (I just tried leaving it on for another 5 minutes, then saving - it worked fine.)

[AlStar]

Ok, I think I've got it reproducable now.

- Load game.
- Set the north kitchen to render fat (repeating)
- Try to save, game should crash.

I'm not actually certain that you need to tell the kitchen to render fat or if you just need to wait about a minute. I've gotten the game to crash three times in a row all right around this point.

I think you should be able to pick the save/region from this link: HERE

If that doesn't work, tell me and I'll see if I can't find a different place to host it.

It's a recoverable crash related to pets, though I haven't solved it yet.  The version I'm currently FTPing won't fix it, but the next one will.  Your save should be fine once I fix that.  I'll post it in the next few days.
