Summary0007462: After talking to goblin and attempting to attack, game hangs
DescriptionIn a goblin fortress, if I talk to a goblin and then attempt to attack with the "A" key, the game hangs. However, if I talk to the goblin, save, restore, and *then* try attacking, instead of hanging it gives me a list of adjacent goblins to attack.
Steps To Reproduce0) Get the save file at http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=9061 [^]

1) Go up the ramp until you get to floor with the goblins.
2) Talk to an adjacent goblin who isn't yet at "no quarter" status.
3) Bypass greetings.
4) Either ask the goblin to join you as an adventurer or claim the site for yourself.
5) Attempt to attack with the "A" key.

I'm unable to reproduce the crash on Windows. Does it matter which goblin I talk to?

I can reproduce on 0.40.06 with: after loading the game, I do "k", select "initiate a new conversation", choose the first goblin who isn't at "no quarter", ask it to join me on my adventurers, then do "A".

Maybe its Linux only?

**EDIT**: It turns out that, due to the randomness of combat (between when you talk and you can act again) that this doesn't happen 100% of the time. You might have to try several more times before the bug happens to you, even with the above recipe.
