Playing version 34.11

So, ever since I sent the militia commander's squad to go kill a kobold thief (they dropped their weapons and punched it to death), he dropped his pick  and now refuses to mine.  I thought maybe he'd dropped his pick randomly somewhere and maybe it was forbidden or something and I have no way of finding it... but now I made a new pick and he's still just idling and refusing to mine.  I've switched the labor off and on a few times, both in game and with dwarf therapist, still nothing.  His squad is inactive and the other members are operating as usual.  I don't understand it at all. 

I seem to vaguely recall now that there was some sort of bug regarding using hunters, miners and woodcutters in the army... but I don't remember the details really.  Something about their equipment getting screwed up I think.

He's a legendary miner, would really like to get him back to mining again.  Was hoping he could be in the military too though, I've heard miners can be good fighters.

Any suggestions?

The details of the bug referred to dwarves refusing to use their pick for both their military and mining uniforms, so they need to have two.
Its a pain to work around so the general consensus is just don't have military and mining/woodcutting/hunting on at the same time.

What is the workaround for that?

Well I did have another free pick created at a workshop but the militia captain just sits idle and refuses to go pick it up.  How many extra picks does the bug require you to have?
