Summary	0004656: Thawing stream or drinking from it causes job cancellation due to pathfinding loop
Description	If dwarves are on a stream when it thaws for spring, they seem to believe the terrain is impassable and get stuck in a "Job cancelled: cannot find path" loop. I believe it has to do with the thaw, but it may also be related to dwarves drinking from a stream. I have not been able to see it happen, but I've had it happen repeatedly. My fortress has been low on booze, so it could be they're drinking from it.
Steps To Reproduce	Have a dwarf on a stream tile that another dwarf tries to drink from, or possibly just when spring rolls around.
Additional Information	Annoyingly, it seems that sometimes even building floors under them does not fix the issue, making this fort unplayable.

Quietust 2011-05-20 18:53 reporter ~0017806	By "stream" I assume you mean "brook", since what the game calls a "stream" is actually a river (e.g. which can contain carp).
