[Leica] M2 Button rewind issues? Any?

[vick.ko at sympatico.ca (Vick Ko)]

I also remember, I have a button rewind, and it locks in when pushed.

Here is another trivia - I had a Leica 1a where you had to hold down the 
shutter dial, to rewind the film.  It was a mushroom shutter button version. 
  What a surprise that was, because you had to swing a little lever to "R" 
to disengage the winding clutch to allow the film sprocket to reverse, and 
then push the shutter button down as you rewound the film.
