[OM] Jammed OM-2S

Well, after 12 years or so, it finally happened.  My OM-2S broke.  I 
recently acquired a Motor 1 and have been been using it with the 2S.  
I finished a roll of film, shot 1 or 2 shots to verify I was at the 
end of the roll, and re wound the film.  When I tried to load a new 
roll the film would not advance.  The rewind button is stuck down.  
The camera will not work in B or manual (mechanical) 1/60.  The wind 
lever doesn't move.  No amount of moving the shutter speed ring or 
the mode switch seems to help nor did new batteries.  

Any suggestions other than sending it to John?  Is the Motor 1 
compatible with the OM-2S?  Just what happens when the motor is fired 
at the end of a roll (overcurrent shutoff, slip clutch, or what)?

I have a strong suspicion the body needs to go to Camtech but I want 
to be sure I'm not overlooking something simple.

Tom
