That certainly is odd. I'd thought something similar had happened to me a
couple of times, but then it turned out to be operator error. Here's my
personal checklist:
1. Was I using a camera with a winder or motor drive? If so, is it possible
the winder/drive took up too much leader? Or was the film too tight toward
the end, "telling" the winder it was time to rewind?
2. Is the frame counter working properly?
3. Did I open the back after loading the film to double check that it was
taking up properly?
Invariably the few times I've had a "short" roll it was due to number 3.

...A strange thing happened to me while I was shooting. Two of
the rolls of Provia 400/36 exp were short. One stopped at 28 and the
other at 30...
