I can reproduce this as many times as required.
Whenever i cause a world flood -> abandon fortress -> exit game (full screen), the system completely locks up. the mouse moves for a while and i see the desktop but i can't click on anything, shortly afterwards the mouse also freezes up and the keyboard doesn't respond either...
I'm quite honestly baffled, i've seen this twice elsewhere, but i've been unable to reproduce it on anything else other than dwarf fortress.

system specs:
intel q6600 @ 2.4ghz
asus commando motherboard
2x1gb kingston 800mhz ram
asus eah 2900 xt 512mb
and a whole bunch of hdds.

additional info that I can think of: sounds are disabled, i'm using 'vanilla' dwarf fortress, so no added tilesets or anything. I haven't overclocked anything. System temps are cpu (31C), motherboard (39C), gpu(59C), which are normal for this comp.

Any info on what actually causes the freeze would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I disabled the automatic underclocking of the processor from bios and updated my catalyst drivers to 7.10 (had 7.08), and it stopped... my five cents are on the processor underclocking somehow fucked everything up on program exit.
