It was changed in version 38b, and mentioned in February's development log:

My current fortress has also always had this problem. The dwarves have made many right-handed gauntlets, but never a single left-handed one, and I have no idea why. I once posted about it here, but never found a solution and the problem still persists even now.

At first, the exposed surface of lava began to turn to obsidian, as expected. However, being the curious type who likes to experiment, I had instructed some miners to break into the base of the lava pool from underneath (this lava actually had a bottom; it was not connected to a bottomless magma flow), which allowed the lava to leak into my huge basement, draining the pool.

The water was still pumping into the lava pool. It was spreading across the layer of obsidian that had formed across half of the pool's surface, and would then drip down onto the now half-empty pool of lava. Unfortunately, since the water was landing in the middle of a pool of lava, there was nothing to support the resulting obsidian, and constant "cave-ins" resulted, as each block of obsidian that was formed immediately crashed down to the bottom z-level.

I had a constant flood of messages telling me that a section of the cavern had collapsed. This went on for a long time, and the fact that I had to unpause it every time a drip of water fell into the lava shaft meant that I soon tired of it, and quit to reload my last save.

It was still fun to try, though.

<STRONG>If you want the demons out of the surface then make some sort of holding chambers. Make them 3x3 with corridors on two opposite sides and doors protecting these corridors. One corridor leads outside your fortress, the other inside.
When you want to trap a demon inside, open both doors and when the demon's in the chamber, lock both doors.
You must have multiple chambers to be able to trap multiple demons (they don't always come inside together).

Your fortress will soon have engravings of goblins killed by demons.</STRONG>

Have you experience trapping demons this way? I would expect them to just bash down the locked doors and walk right through.

And if you're really lucky, and should two dragons show up (and if I have understood everything correctly), one should be male and the other female. I think we all know what happens if we put a male and a female tame dragon together in a cage...</STRONG>

I've heard that dragons don't reproduce, and they simply... exist, since the beginning of time. In any case, I've had three dragons turn up at one fortress, but all three of them are unfortunately male.

Just to note, my current site houses spirits of fire, so I'll be trying it out on them, if you don't mind me carrying out your idea.

Oh, by the way, I thought regular demons and frog demons were immune to magma and could swim in it, is this not the case?
