Summary	0013518: Perpetually prone dwarves in fortress mode
Description	Roughly half of the dwarves in this fortress (save attached below) are permanently prone. This does not appear to be due to any medical malady or syndrome - it's rather like they forgot to stand up. It also isn't a visual glitch, as these dwarves move at 1/3 the speed of their unafflicted comrades.
Steps To Reproduce	I have no idea as yet, at least for whatever's causing it in fortress mode. It does, however, seems to occur consistently in refugee camps (accessible via adventure mode/by embarking on where such a site is known to be in fortress mode) - people leaving the refugee tents do not stand up. Perhaps that is a side effect of crowded conditions?
Additional Information	Here is the save in which it is occurring: https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=17852 Please pardon the mess in-game. There are some dwarves who legitimately have injured legs, but many do not.
