I'm not getting this error.

What OS are you using?

Are there any messages in your errorlog.txt file?

Might want to post the world gen parameters and seeds, it could be something with that particular world.

This happened to me once, but I was unable to reproduce it just now.

Windows 7 x64 Home Premium, no errorlog.txt or gamelog errors, and after copying the seeds from the gamelog (and using, I thought, the same parameters), I successfully generated the world after restarting DF.

I'm running Windows XP Home, but I don't have anything of note in the errorlog.txt.

I deleted the error log, and caused the bug to happen again, but it didn't create a new errorlog.txt

It's a full-game crash, too (not just a lockup) where it pops up the little grey box that says "An error has occurred, blah blah blah" and prompts you to send a report or not.

I'm not sure how to look at the seeds for random worlds I've created, but I don't think it's an issue with one particular seed, because it happens *every* time.
