Doesn't show up in military screen either.

I created a thread about it when it happened in .03: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=58388.0 [^] In my case it happened on a Windows 7 machine. Now my current fort has the issue. I've uploaded a save: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2549 [^] Note that this save was started in .06 and upgraded to .08. Everything was fine until a couple of miners died during caveins while I was mining out the obsidian farm near the magma sea. New miners will not pick up the picks in the finished goods/weapons stockpile near the trade depot. The dwarves in question do not have any military history (in my fortress, at any rate). I've set Kadol Astellogem (stoneworker) and Mebzuth Indrungak (peasant) to be miners, but they will not pickup their equipment. There is a legendary miner that does still mine, but he was a miner since before the bug presented itself. I've also experienced first hand that migrating miners will perform their duties without any issues (probably because they bring their own picks with them)

You need to enable the labor in game or they will never pick up their equipment. If your fortress is large you may need to have an arsenal dwarf assign the equipment to the miners, so he needs an office and time to work. Even then, its hit or miss. Sometimes it works right away, other times the dwarf may never, ever pick up a mining pick ever again regardless of what you do or how many new mining picks you make.
