0006658: Dwarf passes over stream. Perpetually wants to handle a large animal
My dwarf went to drink some water (I think) from a stream. After crossing it he flooded the log with thousands of "cancel handle large animal: Animal inaccessible" thought it might be caused by being on the other side of the stream.

Built a bridge. Didn't help.

The only "large animals" currently on the map are 4 cows and 2 horses. And they are all assigned to a pasture (and on it). I've tried to distract the dwarf with other activities when assigned to a burrow but he ignored other orders. Assigning to a burrow does end the cancel spam. But the dwarf is now doomed to die of starvation.

I'm not sure what caused the lockup. It was either crossing the stream or a large creature passing by my zone.

Here is the file http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8774 [^] . Fair warning, it worked right after I combated the issue (didn't resolve it) but I couldn't load the game now.

I also had a possibly unrelated thought. Just before I noticed the issue I had a panda come by my territory, that's the only other large creature I can think of that might be considered by the dwarf, that and the cave layer.
