This problem is extremely variable -- some cameras will only stick for a
few milliseconds after sitting wound overnight (only a problem at high
speeds, and often only for the first shot or two). Others will stick
open for several seconds or more after sitting wound for only a few
minutes! Some folks use their 10's for roll after roll, thinking it's
something _they're_ doing wrong!
