Summary

0004975: Adding a dwarf handling a dangerous creature to a burrow spams announcements so fast my system slows down

Description

OK. In Dwarf Fortress 0.31.25 (the latest version anyway) I ran into a
problem that made one of my dwarfs spam all 150 pages in the
announcement log so fast my system slowed to a crawl...

All I did was make a burrow and assign a bunch of dwarves to it,
trying to get them to the trade depot. One of them, a woodcrafter with
every labour turned on except soap making, milling, shearing and
spinning, also missing the advanced health care labours, must have
been trying to milk an animal at the time. He spammed two messages
repeatedly:

Likot Isulurvad, Woodcrafter cancels Bring Item to Depot: Handling
dangerous creature.
Likot Isulurvad, Woodcrafter cancels Handle Large Creature: Animal inaccessible.

Obviously the animal was outside the burrow but because it was
'dangerous' the dwarf couldn't let the task go. This cycled so fast I
was lucky to shut it down in time.

Thanks!

Steps To Reproduce

MAke a burrow, assign a special sort of dwarf
