Dwarf Therapist fails to detect dwarfs in new fortress.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start a new fortress.
2. Run Dwarf Threapist.

Dwarf Therapist will then pop up an error message saying it lost connection
and that you probably aren't playing in fortress mode.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.5.2 Windows 7

Please provide the "run.log" file in the "log" directory of DwarfTherapist
when this error occurred.

If this is a truly "crazy" issue, please also attach a copy of your save-
game.

As promised in issue 236, I've been able to reproduce the bug and obtain 
detailed
info (with -debug and -trace).

Logs:
 - http://narc.ro/dwarves/run.no-read.log
 - http://narc.ro/dwarves/run.all-ok.log

Sequence of steps:
1. ran DT, let it fail to detect running copy and just sit there.
2. ran DF, generated a new world (aborted the world generation after a short 
time and
told to use it as it is), then embarked using "Play Now!". Paused as soon as 
possible.
3. Asked DT to connect to the running game (timestamp 22:54:34.311 according to 
log).
DT notified me of having lost connection.
4. Saved the fort in DF, then reloaded it.
5. Asked DT to connect again, but it completely failed to do anything. At this 
point,
I exited DT and created run.no-read.log
6. Re-running DT, it successfully connected to the running game, and read the 7
dwarves. I toggled a skill on one of them, just for reassurance that it was 
working,
then exited DT and created run.all-ok.log.

Speculation:
In both cases, DT says it was reading the creature vector from 0x02578774, but 
in the
non-working case it only found one non-dwarf creature at that address, with 
racial ID
0x0.

It may also be relevant that the memory segment summary is different (bearing 
in mind
it's exactly the same instance of DF, which has been paused and thus hopefully 
been
doing nothing between the two executions):
