Holes in film back

["David J. Carlyon" <david@xxxxxxx>]

I have an 800si, and the part of the back that springs forward to keep the
film flat has a couple of rectangular holes in it - I believe they're for
the time/date option, though I don't have that option. The result, when I
use Kodak HIE, is 2 rectangles in the prints, slightly darker than the rest
of the image. 

There's an example of the effect in
http://scc.net/~david/Photography/Ellee/sky.jpg - look over her left
shoulder (right side of the image, behind her neck).

I believe the effect is probably because the light isn't bouncing back to
the film there, but just going on through. Is there any particular tape or
something I could cover that up with? The rest of the back piece is a shiny
black.

David
