0008742: River depth fluctuation causes frequent "item inaccessible" hauling cancellation spam
One of my dwarves was possessed and crafted a toy axe whose name doesn't appears on the list.
I hovered over it then saw its name. Noticed that dwarfs spammed hauling jobs for it but it was said that the item was inaccessible; I couldn't dump it. I tried using a bridge to smash it by having it fall one z-level, but nothing has changed; even after it was smashed, dwarves still kept trying to haul...something that doesn't even exists anymore (or isn't supposed to)...

The only difference that I noticed compared to previous artifacts, is that I had a broker with no appraisal skill during the time that it was made (and, as such, I couldn't see its value), and that the dwarf started the production quite fast (only used a few - if not only one material).
Unsure about that.
I've uploaded its save (region1) to mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/download/u17rvdeo3wme5ak/region1.zip [^]

...Gonna have to abandon the fortress. @_@ (They keep trying to haul, even with it set as forbidden, and no stockpile accepting artifacts nor it marked to be dumped.)
No tags attached.

Please upload to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^] instead -- Mediafire is unreliable and will probably delete your save before Toady gets to look at it.

The job cancellation spam has nothing to do with the artifact. In your save, dwarves are constantly canceling wood hauling jobs targeting a number of willow logs at the end of the river. The water level in those tiles briefly drops to 3/7 allowing the jobs to start, then rises to 4/7 causing the cancellations. Forbidding all the river-bound logs stopped the cancellations.

I've confirmed the behavior still occurs in v0.44.05.
