Random Earthshakings

Sometimes in a level, the mine will just randomly shake as if an Earthshaker missile detonated, but with no apparent source. I didn't fire one, and there were no bosses or other robots that could have fired one. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

If you were playing an XL level (not a standard D1 or D2 one), XL lets you add "shake mine" triggers that shake the mine in much the same way earthshakers would.

These don't seem to be triggered, they just happen randomly. And on all different kinds of levels too, including many I don't think were made specifically for XL.

I remember seeing a bug in version 1.0 of D2 where a specific type of bot (Lou guard) would very very occasionally shoot an earthshaker... which it obviously isn't supposed to be able to do.

Shouldn't be happening in any source port, though, because they are all built on the 1.2 source code, where I'm 99 percent sure this was already fixed.
