Happened to me with my MZ-M years back. Same thing, it got shelved for an extended period of time (I got an MZ-5n) and when I used it again it began rewinding the film after about maybe 4 shots. I took it to the local Pentax shot and they ended up replacing an actuator motor of sorts...wasn't pretty. After they fixed it, the MZ-M worked flawlessly (I eventually sold it).
