[OM] Winder1 question

I'm getting used to using a winder for the first time.  (Winder1 on my OM-2,
pre-"n")

The winder ripped out the sprocket holes near the last frame and kept
"exposing" the last frame.  Is this normal?

When winding by hand I know *exactly* when I've run out of film.  I don't
stip sprocket holes and I certianly don't overexpose the final frame.

Am I actually paying more money (for the winder) and getting LESS feedback
from the camera?

My brother's $200 point and shoot is smarter than this, or am I missing
something?  (Does upgrading to Winder2 fix this or is Winder2 just as
stupid, on the OM2?  Does anyone have a counter mod with an out-of-film
beep?)

Eventually, I learned to hear a slipping sound when I ran out.

Jim
