Playing on the version just released, I encountered a problem with opening a floodgate panel. As soon as the floodgate is opened, either by being removed or being opened, the game crashes. The floodgate has lava on the top and right sides, a channel on the left side, and an opening on the bottom side. A pic of the floodgate is below:

       

This has me somewhat worried, as a stray magma man could easily permanently destroy my fortress if given the chance.

Edit: Apparently trying to build a channel in the squares directly beneat the floodgate also causes the game to crash.

Edit 2: Upon messing with this problem further, it seems that I cannot build a channel ANYWHERE off of the magma river. Attempting to do so causes the game to crash. (this being any type of channel, floodgate or regular)

The game seems to lag immensely when any floodgate is open. There's probably a bug in the flooding proceedure the gate uses to... flood.

Also, the floodgate setup you have WILL flood the nearby tile, and thusly flood lava throughout your fortress... So dont pull that lever!

Yeah, I kinda figured it would, which is why I tried building the secondary channel thinking there might be some problem regarding that. However, the game is instantly crashing whenever I build ANY channel that touches the lava, not just floodgates, which is something I've never had happen before.

I fixed the crash -- any floodgate opened near lava will crash the game, so avoid this for now.
