Summary0009060: Saving game sometimes causes a crash in Dwarf Mode
DescriptionIn Dwarf Mode, if I go without saving for long enough (more than 20 minutes) sometimes the game crashes during saving and no savegame is produced.
Steps To ReproduceUnknown
Additional InformationLast time a crash happened when saving half an hour after this save:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/76413808/save_31aug2015_13.zip

Haven't been able to reproduce, the crash may or may not happen when a game is next saved depending on something unknown.

The crash -seems- to be during the "saving world information" stage.

Are you using any third party utilities? Have you tried saving every like 10 minutes? Is this happenning on autosaves too? At which version was this world generated? Files can be stored at http://dffd.bay12games.com/ .

Sorry, forgot to mention that I am using the LNP v0.10b with DF 40.24
I have tried waiting 30 minutes before saving, but the game did not crash.
I tried saving every 10 minutes and even every minute.
I saved game 15 times in total. Once, the game crashed when saving during the "saving world information". However, loading the current save or the previous save did not replicate this. Once, with a different save, the game crashed when loading, but only once, and subsequent attempts to load that save were successful.
I don't know if this happens with autosaves as I have them disabled (and my fps is so low that it would take a couple hours for a season to pass).

I don't have a clue what might be causing this. I have about 70 caged undead (large number of units on map, some of them historical?) and I am also building paved loads at the edges of the map, I suspect either of those could mean something. Maybe.

So far I've determined that loading a game and then doing literally nothing for any length of time will NOT crash the game.

Edit: here is a save where it did crash on load once: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=11100

There is 0008971 with crashes on saving of DF 0.40.24 with Starter Pack r12 so it may be related to some LNP issue. Also 0008615 which was probably caused by a dragon or 0002017. Thanks for the save.
