Teleporting amidst zombies causes immedite game freeze

[VampyreLord]

To produce:

1-Create a new map > reveal map (debug)
2-Find a city and long teleport into the middle (for a higher chance of encountering zombies)
3-Move in any direction and you will see your character get hurt (will be highlighted with red) this will freeze the game.

Additional notes:
-One time, I did not quite the game immediately after the game freeze and the death screen appeared as if I was killed by zombies, even the log was reported as if 10 turns have passed.
-The same game freeze happened to me before but without teleporting but actually walking in the city normally and encountering a zombie then I got hurt and game freeze!

So it's really more about "being hurt causes a freeze".

When the death screen appeared, did it generate a memorial file?

I can't seem to reproduce this. Windows/Mac/Linux? Was it Console or Tiles?

@ianestrachan: I can't really make sure if "being hurt" what causes the freeze because actually when I teleport zombies are far away and I get hurt nevertheless.

I think it did generate a memorial file because the death screen appeared, right? but I quit the game without saving the moment the death screen appeared so I didn't check that.

It's for Windows console version.

I've just encountered another freeze without teleporting this time, as usual I got magically hurt. My map is set to 1.7 spawn. I've waited long enough but the death screen didn't appear. The last screenshot:

I encountered this once as well, it locked the game for 10 mins, at which
point I gave up and killed it. An attached gdb session indicated that an
active monster had millions of turns available. Uninitialized monster?
Turn underflow? Some things to check.

If it's any use, I've got a save file here that's experiencing the crash, too:

Load up 'Azare Siraj' in 'Super Deathworld 5000' and head east across the bridge for the crash.

@MisterFelixFox: That was fast! As soon as I witnessed a zombie the game froze.

I've experienced something similar to what kevin mentioned in his comment; I was having crippling slowdowns (several seconds between each turn) and noticed a non-hostile giant ant was teleporting all over the place while the other monsters were moving normally. I managed to kill the ant and my slowdowns disappeared completely. I think it has something to do with what was mentioned in the comment.

I gave the file to AtomicDryad, but the slowdowns were only happening on my end; I think it might have something to do with OS differences since Dryad was on Linux and I was on Windows.
