You're dead right there, but I recently had this prob with a 4T. 
After appr 15 shots winding would get stuck. Only it wasn't. With a 
little help in turning the rewind shaft and very mild "force" (bad 
word) I could forward the film. The problem turned out to be a 
crooked rewind shaft. Got it fixed now. That's why I wondered.
May the force be with you, don't use it on your camera
