Sounds like duplicate of 0006524. Talking to entities who aren't there/can't talk back will produce a crash.

Most likely not a duplicate, since it sounds like there is someone to talk to.

I had the same crash when I tried talking to a dingo. I asked it if there were any issues, and then my next response screen made it seem like I was the one being asked. But the response list was blank, and hitting enter crashed the game.

There are similar oddities if you should out but nobody answers you. I shout a greeting, then I have to reply to my own greeting, then I say goodbye, then I have to reply to my goodbye for the conversation to end.

How odd. I can talk to crabs with no problems.

Is this still present in 0.40.03+?

Yes. I just tried to talk to a carp. Skipped greating, asked about troubles, pressed response key, crash. I'll try to find another one and make a save.

Here it is, not a carp, but a longnose gar:

Talk to it, bypass greeting, ask about troubles, hit enter to respond, crash.

I experienced this as well in 40.03, when talking to a Giant Mole.

A raven did it for me in 40.03. Crash after a few lines had been spoken (with no replies), nothing else going on at the time (nothing that I was aware of, at least).

Same crash. I asked a barn owl about any troubles. Blank response, hit enter, crash

Still happens in 40.04, a duck this time. Earlier conversations with a raven and a weasel did work out fine though, these were classified as "Encounter", so I could just ask for cease of hostilities etc., which did not result in a crash despite the animals being unable to answer.

Couln't reproduce it in 0.40.04. Maybe there is another cause?

I see this in 0.40.08. Tried talking to a troglodyte during an encounter, conversation progressed as follows:

Ask to stop hostilities -> no reply
Agree to stop fighting -> no reply
Ask about surroundings -> segfault crash

I've fixed the reported aspect, though if somebody has a "surroundings" crash, rather than a troubles/how's life here crash, there's probably still an issue.
