That's the kind of thing that should only happen once in a lifetime.
I had it happen to me (once) and since that day I ALWAYS check the
rewind knob THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE ROLL to make sure the film
is actually advancing. TIP: At the beginning of the roll, turn the
rewing knob so all slack is taken up then every cock of the shutter
should spin the rewind knob if all is well.
