Subject: [Leica] M7 occasional jam?

Sometime when I am rapidly firing off shots, my M7 will jam.
Seems to happen when I try to advance the film before the shutter curtain 
completes its cycle.

I can complete the windstroke but the shutter release will not depress.
Not sure what 'un jams' it, but wiggling this and that and taking lens off 
and putting it on will fix it.
IE, I am not sure what set things right again.

Anyone experiencing this before?

thanks,
Eric
