0010235: Starting game on a new year causes a year of world update
Retiring the game, presumably because it is within two weeks of the new year, and attempting to start a new game in that same world causes the world updating stage of the game to go on for a year and two weeks instead of the expected two weeks. The game seems to believe that is a year ahead of when it is.
1. Move the save to the saves folder.
2. Start either a dwarf game or an adventurer game.
3. Be as confused as I was.

Edit: After checking my pre-retire save, I actually retired on the 1st of Granite. I've uploaded the save just before retiring here:

(it's a very good thing I made a copy before retiring!)

Edit: it's not just a one day problem. Waiting until the 2nd of Granite did not fix the problem. There seems to be a discrepancy between the date the adventure mode thinks it is and the date the world update process thinks it is.
