Summary0010061: This save is seconds away from crashing DF
DescriptionI'm running DF on Debian Linux. A thousand or so ticks after loading this save, the game crashes.
Steps To Reproduce1. Load save.
2. Wait. DF will crash soon after the yak is slaughtered, if not before.
Additional InformationSave is here: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=12542 [^]

64-bit, PRINT_MODE 2D: Xlib abort with a multithreading-related error message... unless I'm running DF through gdb, in which case there's a floating point exception
64-bit, dfstream: Floating point exception
32-bit, PRINT_MODE 2D: Floating point exception

Changing Z-levels seems to slightly alter the timing of the crash.

All of the floating point exceptions take place with a backtrace similar to this:

With the help of dwarf_fortress_unfuck I did a little investigating. The exceptions occur within interfacest::loop()'s call to currentscreen->logic(). I hacked in a SIGFPE handler that prints the type of error that occurred (for diagnostic purposes), and throws a catchable exception, then wrapped the currentscreen->logic() call in a try/catch block for that exception. With this in place, if currentscreen->logic() triggers a SIGFPE, it is simply skipped until the next time the loop runs.

From this, I learned two things:

1. As I suspected, the SIGFPE is being caused by an integer divide by zero. (The si_code is FPE_INTDIV.)
2. With this hack in place, instead of crashing, the game... "freezes". The interface is responsive, and it seems to believe it's still processing ticks, but creatures stop moving. Days still seem to pass normally, and at random intervals the game "unfreezes" for a few dozen ticks.

Interestingly, if I stop blocking the river (by pulling the northmost lever in Asob's office), fluid flow continues during the "freeze".

The outpost liason is visiting the fort. I suspected he might be the cause of the problem, so I ordered my crummy militia to bludgeon him to death. This didn't prevent the divide by zero from eventually occurring, and _did_ cause a loyalty cascade.

Deleting all of my work orders in the new manager didn't change anything either.

If I just power through the "freezes", the SIGFPEs eventually stop happening.

Confirmed in vanilla 0.44.09 on OS X.
For what it's worth, it appears to crash consistently at 0x0000000100c966e1 (at least 3 times now), although that's probably not very useful.
This was brought to my attention by https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/issues/1257 [^] , which may be the same issue as this.

Both saves from OP and from the comment above stop crashing after
[DFHACK]# exterminate weasel
which is very similar to 0008410. It says something about zero body size, how do i check that?

Also see 0010253

Highlighting the weasel and running "lua ~unit.body.size_info" in DFHack prints
size_cur               	 = 0
size_base              	 = 1
area_cur               	 = 0
area_base              	 = 1
length_cur             	 = 0
length_base            	 = 21


Killing the weasel with DFHack stops the crash. From running "for _,u in ipairs(world.units.all) do if u.body.size_info.size_cur == 0 then print(u.id) end end" in Lua, this is the only zero-sized unit.

Thanks for investigating! I'll close this as a duplicate of 0008410.
