I just built a well, and watched the first dwarf come up to take a drink from it, and the game freezes.  Twice.

[SquidDNA]

Yeah, I noticed it wasn't in the list of updates. Thanks for mentioning it, I was thinking about building a well now.

[Lord_Phoenix]

It was listed as being fixed on the dev page on 10/30

[darkfred]

I can verify that it is still there. On two different computers with games created completely in .33a. I even have a save from right before the crash if Toady would like to check it out.

[thvaz]

I had this too.

[Darkfall]

Another confirmation, just happened to me.  Built a well over a channel over a water source.  Well went up fine, as soon as the first dwarf went to drink, instant lockup.

Fresh install of new version, new world, new fortress.  No old save or region involved.

[Lord Nightmare]

Ok, definitely still a bug then.

I need another save with this.  It doesn't happen here, nor with any of the well saves I received for the first bug.  They use the bucket and drink out of it.

[Quintin Stone]

Huh, I built a well in a fortress generated from the old version, but only after upgrading to the new version.  I've had no problems with my well.

[Lord_Phoenix]

It happened to me when one tried to drink from a well with no water beneath it.  Might even happen if theres no water -1 z from it, but -2 z down.  I'll do some testing later on, right now my indoor reservoir is full, and it's winter, and I can't empty it to experiment with full, empty, and halfempty conditions.

I just sent off a save to you Toady. I'm pretty sure it's the well bug rather than the Elven traders that just showed up, but either way DF is freezing shortly after the traders show up and shortly after the well is constructed.

The fortress was created in 32a, if that matters.

[Majestic7]

Just adding a confirmation that I experienced the well crash as well. Glad I saved just before the well was finished after spotting this thread, so I can load and cancel the building job. I was being visited my merchants at the same time too - if this is some sort of strange coincidence bug.

[HOTMACHINA]

I have a save game that recreates this if anyone wants a copy.
