0008263: Volcano Overflowing on Reclaim
I had retired a fortress for about two years (in game), and when I came back to it, a volcano in the region was overflowing. Possibly related to channeling for magma forges? The overflow also destroys trees as it spreads across the map and leads to several spammed "COLLAPSE ON SURFACE" warnings. Might (eventually) flood the surface. Due to flows to lower Z-levels, Dwarves seemed to ignore the lava.
I had created a series of forges on one z level (roughly 20+ levels below the very peak of the volcano) prior to retiring the fortress. They had been filled to a depth of 7/7 before retiring.

All I did was retire it for a brief period of time (two in-game years), and on reclaim, the vent was overflowing.
No tags attached.

Ooh, this might actually provide basis for eruptions in the future.

As Quietust said though, got a savegame?
