What kind of megabeast was it?

I did a quick trash fort once just to check out a cave entrance and when I went to make the dwarves get eaten by the resident Hydra, the second to last dwarf got a lucky hit on the hydras leg, resulting in the hydra bleeding to death after killing said dwarf.

It was a copper axe by the way, heh.

Anyways, my point is that I killed a hydra and it didn't crash. Although I didn't order all of my dwarves to attack it, which could have been it.

This is probably part of the general military crash bug.

Probably one of your dwarves is bugged - maybe a skill, maybe it's random, but it'd be nice if you could check to see if the same thing occurs when you assign individual dwarves of your party to attack the megabeast.

I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of the other military crashes, but also as unable to replicate.
