Subject: [Leica] M8 sensor shows double exposure

I have just noticed that some of my pictures are divided into two equal 
areas with differing exposures (very subtle, hard to notice when the picture 
is small), the dividing line crossing its surface right in the middle. This 
seems to happen when the background is grey, nothing shows up when the 
colours are bright. Some of the other pictures of the series are "safe". 
Strange. Has this something to do 1. with cold weather? (curtains being 
somewhat jammed)2. with curtains not synchronized?3. with the sensor itself? 
Thanks for any clues which might help me solve the problem. I had the body 
sent to Solms last year, I hasn't been dropped since then ...Jean-Michel If 
you look closely at this picture you will notice this partition line right 
in the middle and then the subtle exposure difference, upwards or 
downwards.http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Jean-Michel/ST+ODILE/L1067784.jpg.html
