It happens on my EOS-1 too - I believe the film length is encoded on DX films.
While annoying, I have come to realise the positive aspects -
    Film is not strained by running to the end ( at 5.5 fps! )
    Shots right at the end of the roll do not slightly overlap ( 7000i did )
    Shots at the end of the roll do not get cut off if you make a couple of
        mm error with the scissors...
    Film lies a lot less flat near the end of the roll - you can get unsharp
        shots from this even with high quality lenses.

Does this make you feel better?

I examined it very closely and couldn't see anything; I've also cleaned
it out with a hand-vacuum specially for such work.

Given that I have *two* sucj keyboards with the same fault, and other
people seem to too, does acorn want to comment before we start
shouting 'design fault'?
