I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...

Have you tried embarking again? If it happens repeatedly then 'reinstall'

Also, if you kept the fortress itself, could you please upload the save to the DFFD, and post a bug report on the bug tracker?

Some perfectionist hermit players would love that 1 dwarf save, as otherwise they have to murder the other 6 dwarves at the start and that clutters up the unit list.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Well, since the game saves immigration to your fortress as historical events, it could still be useful, but it's unfortunate not to have a save where the glitch is immediately visible. You said that was the very first game you played with that version?
