Some information that might be helpful from the error report that windows gave:

AppName: dwarfort.exe ModName dwarfort.exe
Offset: 0001eee2

Exception Information
Code: 0xc0000005
Flags: 0x00000000
Record: all 0s
Address: 0x041eee2

The stupid error report doesn't let me copy and paste, so I had to retype that. It just wants to send it to microsoft. I let it send, though I doubt they'll know who to send it all to.

I haven't modded the game's files, I don't think.

It crashed twice in a row (after loading), but after I did things - I tried loading a third time and not doing anything, and it didn't crash, so it's something I'm doing. I'll see if I can figure out what. Perhaps ordering the building of walls on ramps, as that was the last thing I was doing before it crashed each time.

Edit: It just did it again while I was changing z-levels, for no obvious reason. Maybe I wasn't waiting long enough after loading the saved game, or maybe it was a time-delay after pulling the lever that I just pulled a minute ago.

Edit #2: Bingo! I now have a saved-game which crashes about 10-20 seconds after loading and unpausing - A dwarf runs over, pulls a lever, a hatch closes off-screen, and then a few seconds later the game explodes like Alderaan. Saved game: http://shadowlord13.googlepages.com/crash-10-20sec-after-load.7z

P.S. The hatch in question is providing access to the magma vent for the feed tile of a bauxite pump, and magma output from said pump also flows back around to that same tile and can fall back down there.

Edit again: Movie which shows the pump and stuff which the hatch is the input feed controller for (It's for the pump which feeds from the magma vent): http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=6&t=002749

If you want to look at it in-game, you can prevent the crash by cancelling the lever-pulling. The lever is off to the west down a hall a bit.

Okay, I've downloaded it and I'll take a look when I hit the save pile after the upcoming release.

Still appears to be crashing in 38a, just so you know it's still there. Offset is different: 0x028e12 or 0x0428e12 now, otherwise the same.

It's also happening now whenever I try to flood the world with magma, so it isn't necessarily related to hatches. (I confirmed that it was crashing at the same offset in 33g before trying world-flooding in 38a to see if it was still crashing in that version too. I haven't tried the save in this thread specifically in 38a, but I do have a save from my world-flood attempt which I could upload if you would like that too.)

Note: Veryinky pointed out that it crashes when magma hits the edge of the world. This is where it's crashing on me now, but in the saved game I uploaded in this thread, the magma hasn't gone anywhere near the edge of the map and it would be impossible for it to touch the edge of the map. The strange thing is that according to windows it appears to be crashing at the *same memory address* in both cases.
