Summary0004411: Game crashes the moment a weak-material creature (such as fire man or some HFS creatures) should take damage from falling
DescriptionIn the object testing arena I tried to test if fire imps/fire men /magma men can fly. The moment the fire man touches the ground (after passing some z-levels) the game crashes. Fire imps and magma men just take normal damage (and mostly die).
Steps To ReproduceOpen the object testing arena; create an fire man some z-levels above ground; resume the game and wait until the fire man touches the ground; see the crash info

It didn't crash for me the first time (he died and left 'flames' and a corpse on the ground), but has done so several times in a row now. Probably has to do with the tissue/material properties.

The final line in the game log is "Fire Man 1's upper body takes the full force of the impact, breaking away the flames!", making it most likely that 0004445 is the same issue. 0002777 and 0002595 look to be related, though stepping doesn't prevent this particular crash from happening.
