Maybe you could try fashioning something like a lens cap leash with
elastic at each end, just snug enough to hold the lens barrel in place,
but loose enough to allow it to pass through when focusing? It
obviously wouldn't "fix" the problem, but might at least ameliorate it.
Just a thought.
Best,

Mine has not broken yet. However, I getting really pissed at Pentax. My
*60-250 behave pretty much the same way, and there is no lock at all to
prevent it from slipping to full zoom when pointed down, or to some
percentage of full when just resting the camera on my chest waiting for an
image to reveal itself before me.
Exactly the one thing I've always hated about the 18-250. And it
doesn't just slip down, it drops.No resistance whatsoever. I tried
putting some ultrathin glueless display protector foil around one
inner barrel to slow it down but no go so I took it off again.
