Summary0007230: Crash when creating new adventurer
DescriptionIn the world below, when creating a new adventurer (Demigod Locally Important Dwarf of Kib Lûk with all points poured into Strength, Agility, Toughness, and Hammerdwarf), there is a crash.

Terminal reads:


terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what(): std::bad_alloc
Aborted (core dumped)


The error log is completely blank. This bug reproduces 100% of the time or close to it. I have not tried with different skill and attribute assignments, but I doubt they matter.

This is a newly-minted world; nothing has been done to it yet. Before the crash there is a short hang. This also does not seem to be a calendar problem as the calendar has already run by the time the adventurer creation screen appears.

Save file: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8948 [^]
Steps To Reproduce

  • Play "Adventurer" mode.

  • Select a Demigod Dwarf of Kib Lûk.

  • Maximize Strength, Agility, Toughness, and Hammerdwarf.

  • Select "Locally Important".

  • Continue and notice that Dwarf Fortress hangs and eventually crashes.

Can confirm this is happening with this save file on OSX Mavericks as well, I've pasted a crash log here:

I've figured this out I think, and it's probably not a bug. I overwrote my 0.40.02 installation with 0.40.03 and forgot to delete "region1". When I generated a new region, it must have added the new region's files but not removed the old region's files. Due to my negligence, the region is corrupted.

I am well aware that it is not a good idea to rewrite old installations of DF and I let my laziness get the better of me this time.

I confirmed this hypothesis by looking at the "last modified" dates, some of which were many days before this region was generated. I apologize for the mistaken bug report. This can safely be closed now.

Sure enough, the save works perfectly after all old files are removed. This was a false alarm; please close this report.

Thanks for the follow-up, dree12. yamamushi, if this doesn't explain your situation, please let us know or see if there's another report that covers it.
