0010042: Campfires prevent retrieval of dropped items
After dropping an item, if a campfire is placed over the spot where the items are, it becomes impossible to walk over the area to retrieve the items, even after the campfire goes out.
Drop item
Move one step away in any direction
Press g
Make campfire on the spot where the item is
Wait/Sleep/leave for a few hours
Come back to find items still irretrievable
In addition, the image of the sometimes will not disappear, despite it being labeled as "ashes" upon looking.

Its quite annoying. I was trying to sort my inventory and then I accidentally hit make campfire instead of picking up the item I wanted, and now all of my stuff is screwed up.
It would be really neat if throwing water on a campfire forced it to go out, although in this case it wouldn't have helped, because the fires read as being ashes. Several days later, and I still can't retrieve my items.

It happened to 3 of my item stacks. So I am reasonably sure it is able to be reproduced.
