0004313: Crash when asking for quests from townsfolk/reporting deeds
When I report my deeds to townsfolk after completing a quest, or when I ask for a new quest, the game occasionally crashes. If it crashes from this bug, even if you saved right before executing the bug, it will occur with all people you can ask for quests, thus essentially corrupting that file.
World adventured in: 1000 year history, maximum size, no sheer cliff erosion, maximum elevation variance, high mineral availability. One fortress made and soon abandoned.

Create an adventurer (all of them have been human, so far), complete some quests, and it will happen soon enough.
It might simply be the fault of wonky world generation; all three worlds in which this bug has occured have had highly variant elevations, and one had many, many volcanoes. I'll try it with a default world, and see if that causes problems.
No tags attached.
