0008587: Dorfs won't dig down into a ramp on a level divisible by 16
I had some dorfs digging a grand trade caravan route that spirals down to the magma forges. Usually when a corridor is designated next to a ramp on the next floor down, the dorfs follow through to the next level... unless it is divisible by 16 (as counted from the top). Then, each time, they fail to continue unless a channel is designated on the level above the ramp. (i.e. if the ramp is designated on level 48, they will ignore it, but channel down from level 49) They will still dig ramps from the side on these levels, just not from above.
No tags attached.

Does this reproduce in 40.19? There's a bunch of compilation issues in 40.17 that could cause this and they were fixed in 40.18 plus some others that stuck around in 40.18 were fixed in 40.19.

Reminder sent to: Twiddledee

Do you have a save from that version that demonstrates this problem? Have you been able to reproduce this in any new version?

This bug is reproducible in the reported version but no longer occurs in v0.44.02, so we'll call it a mystery fix.
