Sorry, I don't think this is a dupe. I didn't get that error message and this was during worldgen not after.

isn't there some way to get Toady the crash dump? This was in the middle of world gen so it didn't save anything.

Can you give us the world gen info with seeds? It would be in gamelog.txt, its location depending on how many worlds you genned in the meantime. It should look something like this:

Generating world using parameter set CREATE WORLD NOW = 4335334
 Seed: kQYW02gMQoUKMAIe6qcO
 History Seed: EQAyOqgcSUwys3F7DEl8
 Name Seed: 6puoKglWr1Xq2rOr87pj
 Creature Seed: SiRvbW1nlajdDTDaxosn

The parameter set for your options should be CREATE WORLD NOW = 4434432, if I recall the options correctly.

This should be it. I found these values in gamelog.txt and matched them in the memory dump.

I'm also having this problem.

notes:
removed aquifers
ram usage was about 1.7 GB before the crash
Crashes after generation reaches 550, as it's scrolling between regions, but before given the chance to accept.

 34.02 SDL (unmodded)

Windows 7 x64
Quad Core i5 (3.1GHz)
8GB RAM (1.9GB used by DF at time of crash)

I've done some extensive testing on this, and I think I've narrowed down the issue. Here are my results.

The crashes seem to occur reliably during "finalizing sites" when the 'Number of Civilisations' is higher than default, and both 'Population Cap' and 'Site Cap' are turned off.

I've been generating custom Large worlds to test this. My latest crashseeds are as follows:

 Seed: rZCzJBzuarkOtKKhGnaf
 History Seed: zdrDmK6nzqJKi4DE2yhv
 Name Seed: BqjSQzst7YYUL3YXu4q6
 Creature Seed: fPgVwtBsqsoQ6Nxu7vUv

 Seed: 1bWYT4W8q4rr7XtnnuJ4
 History Seed: Pqcv0GdYaNXmDAL4zjhu
 Name Seed: LRSzj8R1ZyhoIVbDTDlO
 Creature Seed: KXA6syO6cK89OpyeYjx6

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new world with Advanced Parameters.
2. (c)opy the Large Region settings.
3. (e)dit the new setting and change the "Population Cap" and "Site Cap" settings to Ignored, then set "Number of Civilisations" to anything above 60.
4. Begin worldgen. Let it run for at least 150 years.
5. Force worldgen to finalize. It will crash during "finalizing sites".

Update: I used a mempatcher to enable LAA and my crashes have gone, so it seems likely that the 2GB memory limit is the root of the issue (at least in my case).

 Hi!

I have just experienced a crash during world generation in 0.34.06 on Windows XP Professional SP3, which seems to be the same type. The crash was accompanied by the error message of an abnormal/extraordinary termination of the program and occured during the finalizing sites phase of world generation. The "current" directory of the saves directory is not empty. The parameters are:
