In the late summer for some unknown reason, and entire block of an area suddenly became designated with and upwards triangle, for seemingly no reason at all.  I'm not even sure what designation it is, and only found out about it after a section of cavern (more like sky) collapsed and killed one of my dwarves.  I have both the immediately afterwards save and the seasonal save from the start of summer, and see if I can get it to reproduce, though I doubt it will.   

Is this purely a problem on my end (which seems likely, maybe some sort of memory corruption?), or should I upload the save for Toady to take a look at?

That sounds like ramps.

Are you sure you didn't accidentally designate it?

Note: you can undesignate things with d-x, if you didn't know already.

Ahh ramps.   And yes, I'm sure I didn't designate it, as I was busy building simple mass graves for the lower class when it happened.  And yes, I know how to undesignate.  I'm uploading the file now to the file depot, give me a minute and I'll link it.

Also, no it didn't reproduce for me from the seasonal backup.

As a matter of fact, i undesignated two of them in the middle before deciding to save and report it.

Yeah, I'm not going to be able to figure this out from an after-save, since it's just a matter of a bit being set or not.  We'll just have to hold out for more information.

Anfold:

Did you designate a similar area (same location, same dimensions) on a different Z-level? I once, in 39-something, found an inexplicable whack of ramp designations (on level -13 or so) in what I could have sworn was the same spot as a dig designation five levels up. Thought I must have just screwed up, so didn't report it, but could be similar.
