Summary0007043: Fallen item partially broke the game by making a dwarf endlessly and repeatedly search for it
DescriptionA stone set to be dumped had a channel dug under it. There was no path to it however there were two dwarves in the area, a miner and some other dwarf.
I'm not certain whether it was an inside or outside dwarf, but one of my dwarves was attempting repeatedly and endlessly to find a path to the stone without undesignating it. This lead to extreme loss of performance.

Solved by undesignating and redesignating.
Additional InformationInteresting thing to note, while this was going on, my mining designations were rapidly being canceled. I thought perhaps it was by the outside miner trying to do the same thing however when I undesignated the stone for dumping it suddenly stopped cancelling my dig designations.
I'm not certain whether it was the inside or outside miner doing the canceling but it appears that both the cancellations and stone dump attempts were by the dwarves on the inside of the hole.
