[Fixed - persists in3.61] Dying animal disappear while waiting and breaking ice

[Bert Preast]

I had a badger down and bleeding out, and while I waited for him to depart I broke the ice in the nearby marsh to get a drink.  The badger died just as I finished breaking the ice, and disappeared leaving only a bloodscape and the javelin I had stuck him with!  I have a save game if needed, message log below:

Very helpful save. I managed to reproduce and it's fixed now.

This was related to data entry re-ordering which failed with combination of carcass and ice hole entry placement in a row. I believe this can be quite easy to reproduce so until the next patch is out you want to wait for the creatures to die before making those holes in the ice.
