0004305: Equipment mismatch error message means nothing.

Notes
(0016476) Footkerchief (manager) 2011-03-22 08:45	Are you getting this message from marksdwarves? If so, it's probably 0004084. The ambiguity of the message is annoying, but not a bug -- you can suggest improvements here: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=5.0 [^]

For me it happens to some members of the military, and I've tried to isolate it. I think the problem might be due to one of these things: 1. Miners and woodworkers are problematic. I've watched them go from "train" to "pick up equipment" to cancel job, mismatch, back to "train". They already have a "weapon" that they need to use as a civilian. Yet they want to equip all the equipment you've told them to equip, including another weapon. They go to pick up the weapon and then realize they are not on active duty, and can't drop what they have. For me this results in them not equipping any equipment at all, and sticking with civilian pick/ax. 2. The equipment you're telling them to wear (for their feet socks and high boots, for instance) is not being equipped properly. For instance a dwarf may have two socks on one foot which makes it impossible for her to wear the high boot on that foot. I haven't seen this, but others have. 3. You've equipped them with a weapon that doesn't work with the barracks you've assigned them to train at(For example, they have maces and you've told them to train at the archery stand). 4.You've assigned ammo of the wrong type (bolts/arrows) or assigned ammo to melee fighters. Do any of these match with your experience?
