I just gened a world and got some disconnected river on the world map:http://img169.imageshack.us/my.php?image=97789944nr5.png.

It's tundra/glacier. The river is still there, only it's frozen over and not a major feature of the map.

Not a bug, just a neat little quirk.

My bad.

Maybe I'm missing something, but if the river is constantly frozen in an area, how can it continue on the other side?

Real rivers don't freeze solid for one, and two: ice melt.

The rivers are in the arctic, but you do have a good point.

that also means you need to be "real" careful about digging, because those rivers can freeze miners solid, sometimes your last pick!
