Summary0003177: Random black screen / lock
DescriptionRandomly, the screen goes black in DF and Adventure mode whilst playing on huge (max sized regions/islands, 100's of z-lev deep) worlds. I'm running a Core-i7 (8 cores @ 2.0ghz) with 8 gb of ram and a GeForce 285m GPU, with a beefy laptop that provides excellent cooling. Proc and GPU temps are nominal (verified with IR thermometer), but I have to force my computer down entirely to get it working again. I've had no such problem on linux. I've also made sure to have nothing but system daemons running while playing, and haven't used anything to cheat or modify the game. It's just a little embarrassing to have my fiancee's computer (Vaio from 2003) able to run this more reliably.
Steps To ReproduceI just play for a while and it dies randomly.
TagsNo tags attached.

I can now reproduce the crash in linux, which is troubling. Whenever an animal moves off the edge of the map, it crashes, I believe. I watched a rhesus steal a steel bar and make a run for it, crashing once he made it out. I'm thinking of making a perimeter of stonefall or cage traps to prevent this. It's a pain in the butt with fish in the river.

Is the crash reproducible in 31.12 or the latest version?

If it is reproducible in 31.12 what happens if you migrate to the newest version?

If it is reproducible in the latest, are you issuing kill orders on escaping animals?
