You're sure it's rectangle mode? 0001119 and 0001461 mention this happening with flow and floor flow only.

I can confirm this. I signed up to Mantis Tracker specifically to report this bug and those precise reproduction steps.

Having said that, I have found a few times when it has not crashed this way, but I've managed to consistently crash DF on a fresh map using this method.

OK, I thought I had this problem too as the steps on the interface are i (zones), e (rectangle), enter (place), esc (cancel) -> crash, but the 'rectangle' part is a nuance of the interface, and you are actually moving into flow mode which is where the crash occurs. It also occurs with floor flow mode. I shall add a note to the flow mode crash issue.
