0011219: Standard world gen crash
I tried a standard world gen with completely standard parameters, i.e. everything unchanged (size, history length, etc.), and DF suddenly closed a fair bit into the generation (i.e. a fair number of minutes).

The gamelog.txt file contained:
*** STARTING NEW GAME ***
Generating world using parameter set CREATE WORLD NOW = 4333333
 Seed: LDGoVSsMug77TJRpnqVI
 History Seed: liyjka5gE1RGpsFyJrX6
 Name Seed: 3JoLtKpDdyBqStRdVX30
 Creature Seed: iVIcsAiswSEV61iagVTO
I don't know how to combine standard world gen with seeds, so I can't try to reproduce it.
The only changes made were init, d_init, and announcements adjustments.
No tags attached.

Here are seeds, with which the vanilla 0.47.01 crashes consistently at 60th year - so it should be easier to wait for crash when testing:

I believe I've been able to repeat my world gen by generating a standard world with the same parameters as those I used, export the parameters, and then use those, with replaced seeds, as an advance world gen template. With 0.47.03 this generated successfully.

alex-wev's seeds caused DF to close around year 105, though.

Edit: alex-wev's seeds with 0.47.04 gives inconsistent results. The first attempt crashed after 5 or so minutes, probably somewhere in the range year 105 to 150. The second attempt was successful (implying varying results from the same set of seeds), after slightly short of 30 minutes. And the third attempt also finished the generation.
