OK, 2 major problems I need help on!

1)  At the car show, I took some pics; and while walking out, I switched
hands holding my camera, to get another lens out of my bag, and I heard a
click, and the rear door opened!  It didn't open all the way, I had the
camera in my right hand, but it "unclipped" from the door latch!  I can't
believe it!  I freaked out!..  I'd say maybe 4mm was the door opening.. and
I quickly closed it... but did I get stray light into my camera??  Did I
ruin my roll?

2)  I "thought" I had a roll of 24 in there...  So I'm clicking away.. and
I'm at 24.  Click, the film still advances..  click, 25.. click, 26...
click, 27... Hmm... I don't buy rolls of 36 (except in taiwan where there
are only 36's) and so I'm thinking.. something is wrong.. what should I
do???  I turned the rewind crank, and the film was tight.. So should I keep
clicking to 36??  Anything else you guys can suggest??  Or should I just
take the loss, and just rewind the roll??
