Summary0003479: Zombie Ponds
DescriptionIf the filling of a pond is interrupted by forbidding the bucket currently in use, an apparently impossible and unremovable 'fill pond' task will remain on the jobs list, even after all buckets are unforbidden, even after the pond is made inactive or removed.
Steps To ReproduceCrease pond, ie, at edge of cliff. Dwarves will occasionally throw water over edge of cliff. Select inventory of dwarf approaching edge of cliff. Forbid bucket. "Lost or destroyed" message will be recieved. [For the sake of completeness, I should mention that at this point I unforbade that bucket and forbidded all others; I was trying to put a cast on a dwarf, having forgotten that he'd healed and wandered off.] Messages will continue to be received, every so often, in blocks of "times ten" to "times three hundered" or so. Dezone pond. Messages will continue to be received.
Additional InformationMy dwarves are filled with the dread that, somewhere, there is a pond that is going unfilled. I am still attempting to help them. Cries of "Arelthabum kisat! Ashzos nulral, ashzos nulral," echo through the tunnels and caverns.

To clarify, when I wrote 'removed' above, I had apparently only tried deselecting the 'pond' attribute. The complete erasure of the offending zone seems to have solved the problem.
