Hey there - as the subject says...
I'm trying to generate worlds on a Windows 8.1 machine. 64-bit, Intel i7 4770k, 16gb RAM. It appears to always crash during history generation, anywhere from around 100 to 300 years in. There's no log output or anything interesting shown in dfhack when it happens. Seeing your note in the manual, I thought I would give it a go in a linux VM via wine - and I receive the same behavior.
I am using "MasterworkDF V.5.03."
The crashing happens with the included world-gen parameters as well as anything I've created myself in PerfectWorld.

Hope this is helpful at all... interesting that Windows shows an ACCESS_VIOLATION yet Wine shows a division by 0 error...
I can work around this by trying several times with short histories, but of course this means I'm missing out on some of the experience.
Oh!
Here's my masterwork settings profile, as you probably want that as well. It includes the world-gen stuff, just in case.
Oh, one last note - I can't replicate this in the vanilla DF (with dfhack 34.11r3 in that case, looks like masterwork is r4)
