Can't Pick Mines Up?

<div class="IPBDescription">They spawn, but...</div> I did a search but this doesn't seem to come up, so here goes:
As Comm I sometimes put some mines out, and suddenly either the Rine trying to get them (or I) can't pick them up. This usually happens after a few packs/singles have already been scattered around. When I KNOW this pack is the one I just spawned, I have no welder currently, and I can't pick it up, I just don't know whats going on.... Is there some kind of mine # limit in an area, like there is for OCs? These packs aren't even pick-uppable after several other mines have gone off/disappeared.
What would be really cool, if I can't grab them, is if they armed themselves in place... that'd be a COOL way for Comm to control exactly (on floors, anyway) where he wanted his mines to go....
I'm Having no other troubles with NS/HL, no crashes or anything. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Does it happen just on certain maps, or in certain areas? For instance, the other day I had to recycle and rebuild an Armory because it wouldn't let me drop welders or mines. I'm told it's a glitch with the map I was playing. Gah.
Thanks- <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Never seen this, but my comm used it as an excuse not to hand out mines on the last game I played. I thought he was crazy, anyways.
@welt, I've not seen this personally, is it reproducable, or was it a one time thing?
