This world was generated in 38b.
Fort was started in either 38b or c, can't be sure.
Running 38c game-months before this issue for sure.

My miner was injured during a fall, breaking his leg (yellow).
After a month of crying in pain he suddenly hits a brooding mood and forces himself to walk to the butcher's shop. He's hauled three stacks of animal bones to a butchery shop and is now standing there, here's a exact quote of his demand:

Olon Kolzimesh broods
"Yes. I need ."

I haven't checked the bug list for this because frankly I'm not sure what to search for in this instance.
After seeing Toady's update for today about blank material names in relation to gems I thought I'd throw this one out here in case it's related or already fixed by that topic.

He's probably doomed--if you could find a raw , that might do it, but I've only ever heard of large , always acquired from traders.

The existence of large has been reported many times, but I've never heard of a dwarf asking for one before.

It's also weird that he would take over a butchers shop. What type of mood was it?

Dammit, I need a better way to refer to this stuff!

pre-reaserch-edit-thing: I looked up the dev update you referred to, and I suspect the dwarf went into a macabre mood (did he kill anybody?) and is looking for the particular type of bone that results in large .

If you get an artifact large , that would be the coolest thing ever.

My fix wouldn't have fixed that, most likely.  Do you still have the save?  I could look at it and check the material numbers that are stored in his misbehaving head.

It in fact was macabre mood, he grabbed animal bones first however and when you would expect him to go kill someone up is when he simply stood there asking for a blank space.

Due to the lovely auto-save feature I do have a copy where he's still waiting.
I've uploaded it to rapidshare here because I already started it but in the future I think I may use DFFD.

If rapidshare isn't good for you just let me know, Toady: http://rapidshare.com/files/103222834/ButcherMood.rar.html

I'm downloading the save (or will be after RapidShare lets me), but in any case, for a macabre mood, they don't kill anybody, but they will mix nasty stuff with normal stuff.  It probably got confused about the distinction in some way or another.

edit: also, the cats covering the letters you have to type make RapidShare slightly more acceptable now

Okay, this is fixed for next time.  That dwarf wanted bones and cut gems.
