0000342: Crash trying to view reports
I think the report view is what caused it to crash. However, I am not sure.

Steps leading to crash:
-Formed a 10 person squad to explore the underground
-Found a cave crocodile. Decided he must die
-Made a "Move/Station" order to the edge of the lake
-Cave croc attacked, generating a combat report
-I try to view it, only to realize I am in the Squads screen
-I press escape, then "r". The moment I press r the game crashes
I attempted to reproduce it with another animal - an above ground groundhog - to no effect.
Also sounds similar to a previous bug, "Apparently when critters came wet out of the water and attacked people, some of the water transferred over and cleaned off other spatter on their victims' inventories, and that routine wasn't written correctly to handle the near-simultaneous adding and taking away of inventory spatter"
combat, militia, reports

If it can't be reproduced, a crash dump is the only hope here. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308538 [^]

Crash dumps are enabled on my computer but none were saved. Dr. Watson was replaced by Problem Reports on Windows 7, and it's showing empty.

I'm going to try and find that same croc and try my steps all over again, but it's proving difficult given he lives in an unreachable body of underground water. It was luck I found him near the surface the first time.
