Nonexistent bot on player join - Page 2

Today I experienced new situation with this kicking - not kicking bot. I started DS CS1.5 with 8 bot (4 T and 4 CT). I connected to the game from my client computer. No one bot was kicked. I was looking at the scoreboard and at the next round start there were 5 CT (I was connnected as CT) and 4 T and no one bot was as dead. All bots were in the game. After this my colegue was connected and before seeing him as a spectator one bot CT was kicked. After few seconds I saw my colegue as a spectator at scoreboard. After - he joined to T team. I removed one T bot and he asked me why there are 5 CT against 4 T and I was much surprised, becasue at MY scoreboard there were 4 CT and 4 T. At my colegue's computers at his scoreborad there were 5 CT , but one bot (this one I saw as kicked) as DEAD. Can somebody explain this, how is this possible see another number of players at two computers in the same game????

The problem is probably the moment of kicking bot. In the log I can see two moments of player's connecting . You can see this message "Player_Name connected". In the first moment, when player start joining - at his computer there is a list of players taken from server (with all bots and human-players). After this bot is kicked. After few seconds there is initialization and downloading the data from the server to the game on the client-computer of player. Then you can see him at your another player's computer as a player from some team (but before selecting team by him). After this you can see him as a spectator and after this there is a message "Player_name entered the game" and after selecting by him a team "Player name joined T (or CT team)". So - probably between conecting and entering to the game the players list from server is not updated at this player computer.
Maybe a fix for this bug can be - kick bot when player entered the game (as a spectator) - not when is conected?
