Shutter strings have been a common problem in OM-PC, 2S, 3, 4 and all
variations.  The string isn't actually broken, but it hangs into the picture
area when slack is introduced.  When the string breaks, the shutter may not
work at all aside from the fact that the curtain will be all wrinkled and
crooked.
