I'm much relieved to hear this.
Whats kind of remarkable is that this little 'bug' doesn't seem to be widely
known... I talked to my dad about this (a rollei user through the 60's and
70's) and he was adamant that this _couldn't_ happen on the basis that it
had never happened to him. It looks like the proper crank movement
eventually becomes second nature for users.
