I wrote this in my previous mail:
"My Pentax repair man told me he wanted my MZ-S back for a software upgrade. I'm a bit
reluctant cause I'm quite attached to mine; particularly since I'm in the middle of
the shooting season. Apparently, its nothing major: On some bodies there might occure
an error message in the viewfinder if the self-timer is used while the camera is set
at consecutive-frame drive (or something along those lines; he was a bit vague). I
wonder if theres more bugs at play..."
Then I received this mail from a fellow in Hong-Kong:

This does not happen with my MZ-S but everybody should check their and see if its
inflicted or not
