Can you see anything in the space between frames? If
its a processing anomoly you should see it continuously. You
may need a strong light to see the frame lines.
Is it possible that something could have been inside the
camera box, perhaps a scrap of the gummed paper at the ends
of the film roll?
Another thought, although unlikely: if you were using a
lens shade could it have been on crooked so that one edge
intruded into the picture area?
