I updated my iMac to Snow Leopard (10.6) over the weekend. (I would have gone straight to Lion but there doesn't seem to a be a direct upgrade path from 10.5 to 10.7.)
After the upgrade the issue with DT hanging has gone away. Now reading the dwarves takes only a couple of seconds in a 45-dwarf fortress. I haven't tried to diagnose the change but perhaps a library update is the reason.
Seems likely, I've been unable to reproduce, but I only have 10.6 and 10.7 machines to work with on my side.
I'll look into this this weekend, I haven't seen this yet, but I am pretty sure the squads stuff is not actually working yet. I'll see if I can come up with anything, and this is a very well filed report. Thank you!

I am very excited about this. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work. When I open it there are two instances of it running, or something like that. I say something because while two icons apear in the dock and two applications in the force quite window, I can only actually cmdTab to one, but that could very well be normal. Anyway, nothing comes up for me. After awhile I can cmdTab to it, but there is no window. The menu apeares, and all the options are there, and it apparently connects to DwarfFortress, for that option is greyed-out. I have told it to clear user settings, but that just greys-out all options in the menu. Here is my run log.
Hmm that all looks normal, and the two icons is perfectly normal. It has to do with how the program runs to access memory from another running app. Can you give me some more information about what kind of Mac you are running on? OS X version, and processor version would be the best info.
InStim: Probably best to file at the DT site. I've been a bit out of the loop the last few weeks due to several real world events, but intend to tackle some bugs soon.
I was just coming in to tell you to try that. It seems the user settings get out of whack occasionally. I'm trying to find the cause of that.
