I always restore from a backup when I ctrl-alt-delete.

I've never had any of those problems.

Haul it out to a stockpile, quickly.

They shouldn't do what you are saying they are. If a metalsmith is going to use a limestone and a hematite in a forge, they will be marked with TSK and will not be hauled.

Was the area small? There is a small chance that a permawave will go away after enough random movement. It is tiny enough to be unexpected in a large area, but large enough to be expected in something like a 5x5.

If you have a permamagmawave in a very small area, it may clear up in short order. Try graniteing all the the unflooded squares.
Note that if you floor.exe a wall tile adjacient to a flood instead of mining it, it does not release the flood, so if you can get rid of all the waves and make all the parts either fully flooded or fully unflooded, then remove the walls, you could try flooding the area with magma, waiting for the magma to finish flooding it, and unflood the area.

If you turn temperature off, the magma will not harm anything, but will prevent a dwarf in it from carrying out any tasks.
