Wow! That's a new one on me!  I've got a bunch of SRT-101's and none 
of them ever did that!  If such a thing had happened, even with 2475
Recording Film or HIE, I'd consider the camera defective and get it 
serviced!  This has never happened to me regardless of the photo equipment
used.  I'd consider it a defect so severe that if no actual malfunction
was present, I'd return the camera for a refund.  Even with leaf shutters
exposed to bright sunlight I have never had any sort of fog.  Reports
of this defect prevented me, years and years ago, from buying a 35mm
Minox.

My $.02.

Best of luck with your problem.
