0000987: Arena mode crashing when I re-enter arena mode
I think this has been happening since .02, maybe before. Anyways, nearly all the time, I get a crash when I have been doing stuff in the arena, exit (to reset it) and then enter the arena again.

I'm using Maydays graphics pack, but this has happened on vanilla DF, so I know its not graphics pack related.
arena, crash

Um,I checked some more and it doesn't actually happen all the time. Doing a short session doesn't do it. However, when I exit the arena mode directly from the adventure mode in arena and then try to get back on again. Going from arena-adventure mode to arena, then exiting from arena the usual way, doesn't a;ways cause issues. Having a longer arena session sometimes seems to do it as well.

I kind of need someonne to change this bug report.

Sorry for the double post, but this seems to be fixed in .03, so maybe close this one until further notice?

I would like to reopen this as it still happens in .03

After a short session, theres no problem, but after a longer session (more than an hour or two) with lots of corpses, etc. I can exit just fine, but if I try to return too quickly it crashes, if I wait a bit, it seems to work okay, usually.

It could be any number of bugs that is doing this or a symptom of them, but I would say fixing the critical gameplay breaking bugs should go first.

As of 31.06, this seems to be fixed, plus nobody else has said anything about this one, so can someone close this for sure please?
