Twice now!

My fortresses are built on the slopes of volcanoes (I'm optimistic that there will be a magma flow somewhere down there) so in order to get water I dig a channel from the brook into the side of the hill and eventually under my settlement, and then dig channels down through each layer until it's open space right above the flooded channel. Then I build a well (rock block, rock mechanism, copper chain, wooden bucket.) Construction proceeds normally, and then when it completes, the game crashes.

The mere fact that I have to go through this much trouble to secure a water supply is awesome but I'd sort of like to keep playing after that, too. Thoughts or suggestions?

Hrm, unfortunate.  I'll take a look at this.

I did this twice last night, then when I tried to play again just now, I got an error message about a missing grizzly bear before the game would even launch. I reinstalled the game, made a fresh world, and will let you know if I can repeat this (although I'm bringing a pig tail rope this time instead of making a copper chain.)

The well crash is fixed now.

This crash is not fixed in 33a. It has happened to me again twice on new games.

Yes, crash seems to still happen, but appears to be triggered by a dwarf drinking from the well.

It doesn't crash in the well saves I have.  There must be something going on in addition to simply using a well.
