I'm voting with Mickey.  The first question that came to mind when I read
the original post was how much ambient light there was.

Also, what speed of film were you using?  If the light level was low and
you were shooting ISO 100 or 200 film, your flash was probably puting out
much more output making the risk that much more, and when it does happen,
it becomes much more noticeable.
