0009305: Dwarves made to retreat from combat stuck on "No Job" until combat ends
I sent military dwarves to fight a zombie goblin head in my arena area. The head proved unkillable (that's a separate bug), and a bunch of other (civilian) dwarves ended up fruitlessly whacking it too. Eventually I gave up and used a burrow to force everyone away, with the exception of two mercs who didn't listen.

Result: a whole bunch of dwarves listed as "No Job". They started getting thirsty, but did not attempt to drink. Once I defeated the zombie with a well-timed cave-in, they all returned to normal.

This is a minor bug since in normal gameplay combat generally resolves quickly enough that you're unlikely to notice, but I figured I'd report it for completeness.
1. Find an unkillable, harmless enemy creature
2. Allow civilian dwarves to engage it in combat
3. Use military alert to restrict some of the dwarves to a burrow elsewhere

Dwarves move to the burrow, then get stuck.
The save can be found here: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=11448 [^] It is at the point where everyone is stuck.
No tags attached.
